Everglades Snook

Snook of all sizes can be targeted year-round in Southwest Florida. During the spring months of March, April, and May snook can be found everywhere from the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico all the way back into the freshwater creeks and lakes of the Everglades backcountry. It is believed that snook spawn in the nearshore Gulf waters during the summer months (June through October) with the peak of spawning activity being July through September. During this time snook congregate on the beaches and in the passes and provide anglers the unique opportunity to target them in crystal clear water over white sand. The fall and winter months (November through February) spread the snook out in the shallow water of the Everglades where they can be targeted while waiting to ambush their next meal and warming up in the winter sun.
