Snook

Snook Fishing in the Daytona Beach Area

Snook like warm water and they can really struggle in the cool waters that winter brings to the Daytona Beach area.  However, from spring through fall, water temperatures are much better for snook and anglers will fish for them in the inlet, around the jetty and inshore near river mouths, mangroves and around docks.  You aren’t going to find the snook numbers that you will see in south Florida, however, there will definitely be a fishable population around from spring through fall.

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.
