Late Fall Fishing
As water temperatures drop, snook begin to move from their usual locations. The recent cooling trend has prompted these fish to relocate, and most have now settled into their late fall habitats. There are preferred locations for snook during this period. Snook can primarily be found in deeper water environments. These include canals, creeks, rivers, and channels where the water tends to be warmer than in shallower areas.
An effective fishing strategy for anglers seeking large snook is to target areas along mangrove edges that are adjacent to deep water drop-offs. When targeting snook in these deeper areas, anglers should use tactics that account for the slower metabolism of the fish due to cooler water. Live bait, such as shrimp or small baitfish, can be especially effective, and working lures slowly along the bottom often yields better results…
