Fishing Techniques
- For Common snook
When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.
- For Atlantic croaker
Fish near the bottom with a Carolina rig or a simple bottom rig, croaker feed primarily on or near the seabed. Use small hooks and light tackle to detect their subtle bites.
- For Fat snook
Fish near structure like docks, mangroves, and bridges, as fat snook are ambush predators that like to hide and dart out for prey.
