LADY ANGLER: Summertime Snook

This time of year provides some of the most exciting fishing opportunities our area has to offer. Snook and tarpon start showing up on the beach in the summertime. The tarpon are on an annual migration and the snook have a seasonal movement as part of their spawning habits. Typically, the snook travel out the inlets, fill their bellies with minnows along the beaches, procreate in or around the inlets, release their eggs, and do it all over again about every two or three weeks.Jul 4th, 2014
