Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Pan. Blackened!

went out to the inlet last night to see how it'd be. absolute nightmare as expected, huge crowd of people trying to get their slot snook before the season ends. i caught a 27.75" snook (has to be 28" to keep lol) on a flair hawk but that was it.

i probably wont fish the jetty again until the season closes. i got my hail mary slot and dont want to deal with the crowds. kind of relieved actually, now i can focus on lure making and other things.

anyway, blackened some of the snook yesterday. came out fantastic!

caught two this morning

Cool lookin fish. Never fished for them. Highly regulated probably for economic and environmental reasons. A member of the Perch order; Percaformes.

yes, very highly regulated. the most sought after inshore gamefish in florida. the season opens back up in september.

My in-laws lived in Satellite/Melbourne Beach near Patrick AFB years ago, the locals surf fished for Snook. I never have eaten any yet.

They were, if what I read a while ago was true. The first fish to be regulated in the US.
