Snook Fishing in the Fort Pierce, Florida Area
While the deep sea fishing gets most of the attention in Fort Pierce, there is also some very good snook fishing here too. The warm waters of Fort Pierce, Florida provide excellent fishing opportunities for snook year round. Target them around the inlet, docks, mangroves and many other shore areas and you’ll find some fish. The mullet run also provides some very exciting fishing for snook in the fall. In the winter, fishing can still be good between the cold fronts. Snook are not very active when water temperatures get cold, so some of the cold fronts in the winter will shut down the snook fishing.
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.
