Snook


Snook Fishing in the Homosassa, Florida Area


Snook like warm water and they can really struggle in the cool waters that winter brings to parts of Central Florida.  However, in Homosassa, Florida, the warm springs help keep temperatures warm enough for snook to be active in this area through the winter time.  Fish the miles of mangrove-lined shorelines and you’ll find some snook.


Snook Fishing Tips


Most anglers prefer to use lures for snook, but live baits such as jumbo shrimp and pilchards are some of the best baits to use.  At times, snook can be super tough to catch on lures, but a lively shrimp or pilchard will usually still get plenty of bites even when they are picky.  If you fish for bass in freshwater, the type of tackle will be similar to largemouth bass fishing except you may have to upsize the rod, reel and line a bit.
