…Chokoloskee Everglades National Park area found some really nice snook

We fished the offshore wrecks out of Chokoloskee Everglades National Park area an found some really nice snook. Most of the snook were over the top end of the slot (33″) and were all big females. We caught and released approx 10 fish and we enjoyed every minute of the action. Our bait of choice was a West Coast white bait a.k.a. (pilchard). These baits were about 5″-6″ long and very lively. The snook are still spawning on the August moon and it takes a lively bait to catch these fish. The snook are in a spawning mode but can’t resist a lively bait pined down to the bottom (reaction bite). This type of fishing will not last long. Once this is over we will concentrate are fishing inshore for Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon. This fishing will last all the way through the winter.
