Tampa Bay Inshore Snook Fishing

Epic snook trip for Doug and the wife! They smoked them today! All Doug keeps asking me is to catch a slot snook. We had to make it happen for him. He started off the day missing a nice slot, then about 20 minutes after we landed this perfect 33” snook! All smiles for Doug today! Glad we could make it happen. Bite is on πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Tampa Bay Inshore Snook Fishing

Fun trip with Dean and Brian today! Brian first time visiting Florida wasn’t all that bad! Wisconsin is defiantly a little different! He caught his first snook and his first keeper snook, and his first over slot snook! Biggest was 35” today! Also caught a small cobia and lost another one at the Boat.
