Beach Snook May 11
Hit the beach this morning for my first snook trip of the season. Kind of knew it was going to be good when I encountered a school of large jack crevalle first thing. Made a cast and immediately hooked an 8-pounder, which took me into the backing.
Found some wads of snook and caught and released 19. Largest fish was 25 inches. I choked on a large snook that I watched eat the fly.
Also caught and released 19 spotted seatrout to 20 inches.
All fish were taken on 6-weight fly rod, sinktip line and D.T. Special flies.
The season is just beginning and should last through the summer. Peak month is June.
