Snook Fishing With Finger Mullet

Some Snook Fishing action using a live Finger Mullet around a structured dock with boats.

These elusive fish are commonly found along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic coasts of Florida. Snook often seek shelter near structures such as mangroves, bridges, docks, and jetties. They are most active during dusk and dawn, making these prime times for your fishing expeditions.

For Snook fishing, using live bait such as pinfish, mullet, or shrimp is highly effective. To rig your live bait, use a circle hook, preferably in sizes 2/0 to 4/0, which reduces gut-hooking and increases the chances of a safe release. Additionally, some artificial lures that Snook find irresistible include topwater plugs, soft plastic jerkbaits, and swimming jigs. Experiment with different colors and sizes to determine what entices the Snook in your area.
