Snook, Cocoa Pier, Florida, USA

Fishing in Florida now:

Cocoa pier my local venue one hour drive from Disney when I now living.

Now back to the fishing: I have kitted myself up with a 9 foot Penn spinning and heavy duty Penn reel loaded with 20lb braid and a host of 17.5 cm Rapala lures and Bomber A lures. 3 foot 40lb leader

Florida Sea fishing licence required about 52 US Dollars.

Night tide under the pile-on close as possible to the surf running in and around the pier.

Snook are a game fish and have strict regulations governing their catch...

I was a luck man as mine fell inside the ''keepers'' size over 28'' but below 32''.

The fight is extreme like a massive Bass but only stronger.

I miss home but coping very well here!!

Cheers lads.

nice fish well done

great looking fish, i hope it tastes as good as it looks

I baked fillets and planning on a beer batter tonight, got 6 lovely fillets of her. Its a firm white texture, almost same as a Bass,

nice fish ,never seen one before, has the boby of a bass and certainly the mouth. any GT over there

Nice one, id say they go well, Ive caught GTs in Australia and they are 1 strong fish but them snook look even faster

great catch...would pay 50 bucks if we had fish like that on this side of the pond...

Lovely fish, heading there again next year, this time I might be lucky enough to get one myself
