"the snook are everywhere along the beaches right now"
suuuuuure, i think thats just a rumor

[tylerdurden]

snook were thick out at fort d during the day, think i had one hit but not sure. They were going after a thick school of glass minnows

[goindeep]

The snook are indeed all over the beaches, but they're real picky about the tides, time of day, and when they will bite. I've been learning that the hard way. Lol.

Its a timing game that I'm in the process of figuring out.

Then again ya gotta figure, up Jm's way, what they call a "Beach", We call a mudhole! LOL

jmfishing...... Dog beach not the area to fish this time of year unless you can get some crabs and drift them through the current. Hook some tarpon of cobia with the crabs.

At Honeymoon island dog beach is not considered the "beach". It is the Pass. If you want snook on the beach head to the north part of the island. Many rocks so you need some booties or other footware.

The snook are within 15 feet of the beach at high tide. I beed using cutbait. Soak in on the bottom and hold on. Better yet, sit by the water, drink a beer and lighten up the drag with Rod in holder.

Also, look for trout in seven to ten foot of water. Drift a shrimp. If you use a floot you will need like seven feet of leader from the bottom of the float. This does make for a hard cast so a longer rod is better.

Remember dogbeach is for the dogs at watch the land mines as you make your way to dog beach
