One of the most sought-after fish in Florida waters, the snook abounds in great numbers throughout Capt. Billy Miller’s Tampa Bay home waters. For much of the year, this amazing fish tops the inshore target list due to its aggressive feeding style, aerial acrobatics and relentless fighting nature.
Capt. Billy stays on top of the distinct seasonal patterns of these fish and consistently delivers incredible opportunities for anglers to feel the snook’s raw power and to admire this magnificent predator up close. Starting at the beginning of each year, snook will spend most of their time in the warm, stable waters of residential canals, rivers and other protected areas. This tropical species tends to be less active in winter’s cold water, but warming trends often deliver periods of intense feeding.
Spring finds the snook emerging from their winter holes with huge appetites. This is one of the best times to catch big numbers of snook with a good shot at bagging a monster along mangrove edges at the mouths of creeks and rivers, as well as the shallow flats outside these wintering spots.
As spring progresses and baitfish schools spur the warm-season feeding, snook will scatter across the inshore shallows on their way toward the passes for their summer spawn. This is a good time to find them around oyster bars, docks and sandy potholes scattered across the grass beds.
Mature snook spend their summers on Gulf beaches where they’ll gather up to spawn during full and new moons. Between the spawns, stalking snook in the shallow surf presents exhilarating sight-fishing opportunities with the strong possibility of finding some of the biggest “linesiders” of the year. Once fall arrives, the snook start making their way back toward their winter spots, but they’ll feed heavily until the cold weather arrives.
In each of these seasons, Capt. Billy knows just how to tempt snook into biting. He’ll show you the where and why of fish positioning, explain the bait and tackle details and coach you through the process of hooking, fighting and then safely releasing your these incredible Florida sport fish.
