Snook Season Preview: Livebait & Shrimp

Aug 24, 2026 Jensen Beach

Snook season is a week away running September 1st thru December 15th. Regulations remain the same with a 28" - 32" slot , 1 per person. Livebaiting for snook is up to 3 people with a departure time around 7am. We must purchase livebaits while on the water at 20.00 a dozen when available. Larger groups of 4-6 people we mainly fish with shrimp which is included with the charter.

Monster Pompano

May 3, 2026 Jensen Beach

Fished the Dyment family visiting from Connecticut. Young Devin caught dinner for the family with 2 nice pompano. One fish was 13" to the fork but the large pompano was a whopping 21" and weighed 6.4 lbs which makes that fish the largest pompano ever caught on Catch 22 Fishing Charters in 33 years. Truly a fish of a lifetime.

MAC ATTACK

Feb 25, 2026 Jensen Beach

With calm seas we had the opportunity to target Spanish Mackerel along the beach. Normally these macs start showing up in the Stuart area in December but this year thses fish stayed just north of us in Fort Pierce and Vero Beach until mid February where a recent cold front did push them south. Mackerel were caught while casting glass minnow jigs. Someze nice sized sheepshead over 4lbs and a bonus flounder on the bottom.

Pompano Time

Feb 25, 2026 Jensen Beach

Fished the Martucci party this morning group of 5. A nice mix of catch and release mutton snapper, ladyfish, jack crevelle along with croaker, sheepshead and pompano for the dinner table. These pompano are just starting to show up and will remain here thru April of next year. All fish today were caught with shrimp on trollrite jigs.

Snook and Tarpon Bite

Sep 22, 2025 Jensen Beach

The last 2 trips with smaller groups aboard we had the opportunity to fish livebaits using a combination of croaker and greenies. Some snook and a nice tarpon release. Also fishing with shrimp we are still catching some croaker and snappers.

Snook Season Has Arrived

Sep 3, 2025 Jensen Beach

Snook season has opened up here on the Treasure Coast and will remain open thru December 14th. Regulations remain the same with one fish per person with a 28-32" slot. Snook and tripletail charters are up to 3 anglers with all other species targeted are good up to 6 people.

Half Day Trip. 6 person max

Great day out with Captain Bob. He’s very knowledgeable and personable. Captain Bob worked real hard to get us fish. We lost count of how many fish we caught! Our catches spanned a wide variety of species including two keeper pompano. Our party ranged from 65 to 6 years old and we all had a blast. I would book Captain Bob again and recommend him to all.
