Measuring

This is how you would tell how ling the fish is and if you would be able to keep it. Remember it needs to be between 28 and 32 inches, and if its not and you keep the fish the FWC will find you and give you a ticket. You can hardly see but this Snook I caught was 34 1/2 inches so it would be illegal to keep it.

Inside the snook mind! Knowing what they're going to do next.

The best way to fish for Snook is off the beach. Snook come to the beach during the first weeks of June  through the last week of August, and they come hungry! The Snook come to the beach because the pilchards start to migrate down the shoreline. Pilchards are little baitfish that are a favorite meal for the Snook. From November through March Snook go to the inlets and intracoastal waterways because the mullet arrive there. Mullet are also baitfish that snook love to eat. When Snook are in season you can keep one a day only if they measure between 28 and 32 inches.

 These are the different species of snook in Florida. Common snook are the most known and are found near Boca!
