Inshore Basher's Snook Went out to the inlet this afternoon got there around 3 spent a good hour to 1 1/2 hour trying to catch with no luck. So i'm stuck with 3 dozen pinky sized shrimp. not much going go and then i get a hit.... strike and a miss.... so another one goes out wham! i set the hook and the fight is on feels small and i reel him in with ease and then as he's coming in i signal my buddy to get teh net and as soon as he gets near the jettey he makes another run and i lift the rod adn hold steady and then he's really pulling; i'm thinking what the hell just happened he didn't have this fight earlier then he pulls even harder and my rods doubled over i'm thinking oh man jew fish got em' i put all my strength to turn em' but can't and then power pro snaps between the pilons the jew ran under. so i take a break snook fishing and land a seabass and a small jack. and then i go back to snook fishing. on goes another shrimp... WHAM!!! this time i land em' and hits 28 1/4". sun starts to set and then blues are running thick 2-4lbs. i land 5 and then land a couple lady fish and called it a night. Sad to say my first keeper snook of the season....... i think ?

yeah, it was all i had and the snook bite was constant. i saw at least 5-8 keepers with about 16 over/undersized throwbacks throughout the pier.
