 Spring Snook: Moving Out Of The Backcountry
Posted by fliesandfinssouth on Wednesday, March 29 @ 18:16:48 PST
In the spring months in South Florida, the resident snook population makes its transition. The warmer waters of the backcountry has kept these snook warm and fed throughout the winter, and come spring, the warming temperatures of the Gulf of Mexico waters make these fish move towards the outside points and passes where the snook spawn annually.
These snook fatten up on mullett and white bait as they become more available as the water warms into the 70's. Expect to see hotter, whiter fish being caught on structure, in the deeper holes, and sight fished in the shallower bays near the outside. When trying to spot these fish, try looking amongst the mullett schools for feeding snook, or ripples in the water that move less erratically than the mullett around them. Depending on the water depth and clarity, target these fish with light colored baitfish flies, E.P., muddlers, and deceiver patterns will sometimes prove irresistable to these hungey pre-spawn spring snook.
