Last week got unexpectedly busy with lots of fish biting!
Snook are in their annual spawn and fortunately for me it takes place right off the beach 🏖️, my wheelhouse. The snook are big and hungry and the most effective method of targeting them is sight fishing large live baits 🎣. It's a blast and most charters don't do this because it would be difficult to chase from a boat.
