We finally got the bay boat back in the water after being out for about 10 months due to a downed engine but we're back in action again. February 1st started us off with our first snook season of 2025. Thomas, his wife Joyce and Grandson Zack went out with me this week looking to bring home a linesider but the snook bite has been pretty slow lately. On day one we worked the inlet for awhile at the end of the outgoing tide with nothing but numerous amounts of jack crevalle. Great fighting fish with plenty of action but not what we were looking for. Ventured out a little deeper to some of the close reefs but it was also a little slow for what we were looking for as well with numerous amounts of blue runners. Since it was such a beautiful day on the ocean, which is rare for this time of year, we decided to go even further out and hit the offshore reefs instead. It was the right decision, we caught some of the biggest lane snapper that have ever been on the boat as well as some nice mangrove snapper until we ran out of bait. Day two started off the same with nothing but massive amounts of jack crevalles on the outgoing tide, we heading back in the river and went to my honey hole along the mangroves where Joyce landed herself a beautiful 31"3/4 snook to catch the first keeper snook of the season as well as her first snook of her life. The slot limit for snook is between 28" to 32" so Joyce picked out the right one. That snook inhaled a beautiful threadfin that was dancing on top of the water right along the shoreline.
