Snook Fishing in South Florida

Snook
  • Size 3 to 15lbs
  • Food Value Good
  • Game Qualities Excellent
  • Habitats Inshore, Flats, Backcountry

(Centropomus undecimalis / nigrescens)

From Cape Coral around the Everglades, down the Keys, and up to Miami, you’ll encounter some of the finest Snook fishing you could imagine. The shallow, warm waters make South Florida a haven for these exciting beasts year round. Hop aboard a South Florida Snook fishing charter and see what all the fuss is about. 

What to Expect

Thrilling, monster Snook await you in South Florida. These prized creatures can only survive in warm waters, which makes the Sunshine State an ideal habitat for them. From the shallow bays of the southwest to the mangroves in the south and the Keys, there are plenty of hiding spots for Snook. 
 
In order to reach these shallow waters, and to make sure you don’t scare the Snook, you’ll fish from a shallow-hulled bay boat. Spend anywhere from four to eight hours on the water, getting as much as you want out of your day. 

How to Fish

You’ll need to creep up quietly so as not to scare the fish, gently casting your bait in the fish’s direction, before chaos breaks loose. The Snook will do whatever it can to take the bait to the bottom, so use all your skills and strength to keep it close to the top. 
 
Summer usually sees the best results, but you can be confident of landing a Snook at any time of year. Avid anglers will particularly enjoy the thrill of going after these spooky fish and will appreciate a full day on the water to perfect their cast in various waterways. If a full day of casting sounds too much for you, half day trips are a perfect introduction to catching Snook in South Florida.
 
For the best results, hop on a night charter and target these beauties under the dock lights. They’ll come up to feed under the cover of darkness, giving you a rare chance to catch them off-guard. 

How to Prepare

Your captain will provide everything you need for a productive day on the water, including all gear, bait, and fishing licenses. All you need to do is bring some drinks and snacks, and protect against the heat, and you’re good to go. Step aboard a South Florida Snook fishing charter, and experience some of the best Snook fishing in the world.

If you are fishing in the morning, especially in March, make sure to dress appropriately (pants, jacket, etc). We used a waterproof case for our phones so we could take videos and pics quickly and didn't have to worry about getting phone wet. And most importantly, Jack knows what he is doing so just relax and enjoy the fishing time!

The day we went out was after a full moon so the biting was a bit slow but the captain was knowledgeable about the reefs and types of fishing and we still managed to get a fair few bites. Reccomend calling and asking about conditions and if itโ€™s a good time to go out.

So many different ways to fish in marathon. But we wanted something that wasnโ€™t too taxing on the wife and kids so we decided on yellowtail. We got plenty of fish, didnโ€™t have to go 20 miles offshore and it was just an all-around awesome day

Trust the captain on what kind of fish to target. If you try to pick one species you might spend a whole day and not catch much. Be flexible

Weather that day seemed to be perfect but didnโ€™t catch allot of fish going through the mangroves. The captain even did recommend booking a 4 instead of a 2 hour trip to go further out to better chances of catching more fish.
