Large Snook

After more than two months of miserable fishing because of
Red Tide and Green Algae, we are seeing some return of decent fishing conditions.
Large Red fish and Snook are holding under docks near the passes in Pine Island Sound using Pin fish on a circle hook. I hooked a Snook over 40 inches but he ran under the dock and broke me off. A leader of 100 pounds reduced to 40 pounds very close to the end is recommended. Use only a rod with a backbone since you will need to drag them out quickly. Best of luck to each of you
