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 Mexican snook
Target areas with current and structure, such as docks, mangroves, and bridge pilings, and fish during periods of low light for best results.
- For Tarpon
Use a circle hook when fishing with live bait and let the fish run before engaging the reel to ensure a solid hookset.
