Centropomus undecimalis
Snook fishing in New Smyrna Beach and Ponce Inlet
Snook hold around docks, bridges and the inlet rocks, and they hit hard and run for structure. Spring and fall are prime. Some parts of the year are catch-and-release only in Florida, and Capt. Fred follows the rules to the letter.
