Night Trips for Snook

Night fishing offers an experience that is absolutely second-to-none. Whether you want to fish for snook around the dock lights, bridges, open flats under the moon and stars, you'll find what you're looking for after sundown. Some of the largest snook ever seen in Florida have be caught at night. Its widely accepted that if the snook fishing is good during the day, it will be absolutely incredible at night. Snook are a hard fighting fish that can dump a spool of line on you in seconds.

These fish often use the cover of darkness to ambush prey as it swims or drifts by. Often huge concentrations of snook, literally "stacked up," will be found under some dock lights and bridges. These fish are very often suckers for small artificials and live bait.. The common snook is the most abundant of the four species in Florida. Snook can tolerate a wide range of salinity and may be found in fresh water. However, they are extremely sensitive to temperature.

Darkness also often increases the snooks willingness to feed. They can sometimes even be heard "slurping" baits from the surface far out of sight. Nothing gets the blood pumping faster than hearing schools of feeding snook all around you. To add to this, the temperatures are often much more enjoyable after sundown, especially during the hot summer months.
