Snook in Jupiter Inlet

MattyG100% · 08-11-2008, 10:56 AM

Went out this Saturday for a few hours and did pretty good. Got 4 fish in about 45 mins. Every bait i dropped down got slammed. Fish were about 27-32" All of them almost perfect slot size fish. Too bad it wasnt season.

Pics are below.

Nice fish and pictures.
(although when I click on them they don't come up very big - not sure what your settings are)

yeah i just posted pics i downloaded off my flickr account. i will post the originals later. have some others when season was in that i will post.

DIRTYFOOT2 · 08-14-2008, 05:14 PM

looks like the fish have grown into the new slot regs. Can't wait for Sept 1

What kind of bait was your choice???????????
Looks pretty good size!!!

Some nice looking snook you got there !!!!!!

MattyG100% · 09-19-2008, 03:31 PM

so had some gas in my fuel the first week of season but now im back at it. still havent got a slot size yet, most of them have been under slot by a few inches.

also finally switched to Power Pro, dont know why it took me so long, but after losing a nice one in the inlet the other night due to old mono on the reel, im done with mono. i am definitely liking the braid.

below are some pics from last night. got 5 fish, none were slot size.

will be out a good part of the day tomorrow trying to bring one home.

oh yeah here are some nice ones i got back in may right before season closed... i had to let the last one go

What are you using for bait??

MattyG100% · 09-24-2008, 11:59 AM

^^^
i always use a mixed bag of bait. most snook are being caught on mullet right now...

pinfish is one of my personal favs...

got 2 more shorts last night.

6 shorts between saturday and sunday..

the big ones are obviously out of the inlet. im staying inside tonight to hopefully find the big ones!

DIRTYFOOT2 · 09-24-2008, 01:39 PM

nice report Matty. Killed a 31"er yesterday while I was detailing a boat. Rodney, the pilings and 100lb braid did all the work. I heard the clicker climbed off the bow unwound the fish measured and iced

I really didn't think I was going to get much action, but after I saw the fingers getting blasted I had to try something. So I tied a 4/0 circle on a 50W and just let it dangle while I was working. Got a couple shorts, jacks, and a giant ladyfish too. All on finger mullets during the first part of the outgoing.

MattyG100% · 09-24-2008, 02:57 PM

NICE! got to love those times when you dont expect much and get a good one!! Also got to love that braided line!!!

31" is a damn fine snook! 12-15lbs i would assume?

also did you ever get that PM i sent ya?

DIRTYFOOT2 · 09-24-2008, 03:14 PM

I missed it in w/ the other ones that came in while I was out of town. I'll send something over to ya tommorow. Thanks for the help. I think the snook was about 9-10lbs but didn't weigh him. Filleted and fried all in the same day. He was a nice clean one though. Definately spent his summer on the beach side

We should get together one night when the tide is right. Either I can show you my fav. lights in St. Lucie or scoot down and try and poach em out from under the cleaning table @ Seasport

. Talk to ya soon

MattyG100% · 09-24-2008, 03:54 PM

nothing beats a snook f&f in the same day!! well maybe a hogsnapper but thats about it!

haha on the seasport! there are some lunks in there!! late night is the time to fish there.

yeah i would definitley welcome the company, we will work it out. talk soon.
