Snook Fishing

  With good reports of Monday fishing… me and Mike brought a friend of mine, Captain James McKeever out for an evening of snook fishing on Tuesday.  James does a lot of spear fishing and offshore fishing but rarely spends time inshore or flats fishing.  He has never caught a snook and we were hoping to add another fish to his list…. A cold front came through on Monday making the barometer fall as well as our fish bite. We started north of Pasadena hitting most of our favorite lites but with strong winds no fish were seen nor caught.  We then headed south to find out if fishing could be better with this outgoing tide.  Our first fish was from Mike, a 27 inch Redfish… and soon later James hooked up to a 26 inch Redfish… they both made the trip home.  We hit some of the local bridges where some snook were present on the top but not hitting. Changing tactics Mike started jigging the bottom… seeing if the bite was ON down deeper.  Next thing we knew Mikes pulling in a 36 inch… 17 lb. snook to the boat!!  I  watched as mike ALMOST yet again…. went into the water when a goliath grouper got a hold of his jig.  Not pulling him from the water, we est. him to be at about 28 inches.  The night was long and weather not at its best… we did have a fair nite!!  but I wish this nite with James, could have brought home a slot snook or two at the end of this snook season!!!  We will have to bring him out again to get him addicted to OUR STYLE of fishing ….For some BIG time Summer SNOOK!!!!!
