Fish Caught: Snook

Our neighbors and good friends across the canal from us are fanatic fisherpeople. Since Bimini and Julie are native to SWFL they have been helping us to learn fishing here. Whille we make the 30-50 minute trip out to the bigger waters of Charlotte Harbor they like to spend their time fishing more locally in our canals (Apollo, Jupiter and Bayshore waterways). Bimini especially spends many hours on their dock with a line in the water. Well this afternoon we heard quite a commotion from the canal and ran out in time to see Bimini with a nice snook in her net. The photo below is the view from our patio across the canal to their backyard. I know it doesn’t show the fish well but Bimini is holding her 29" snook up for my photo. It’s tail is in front of that yellow bucket. Anyone that has ever caught a snook knows what a strong fighting fish they are. A 29" fish is a big fish especially on a light rod with only 15 lb test. Bimini did a good job to get it in that net!
