Boca Grande - Saltwater Fishing Report

I had a great trip with Chip W and his father Frank, Chip wanted to give Frank a great x-mas gift so we hooked him up with a gift certificate. They scheduled the trip for mid Feb and the weather couldn't have been better. We went straight to a pod of snook I have been working on low tides and once again the snook where eager. Frank and Chip each caught a few nice snook to warm up with the grand finale a 31-inch 11lb linesider. As the tide slowed the snook laid up and lost interest so we trolled over the top of the sand hole and there were no less than 100 snook laid up. Frank asked me why we were unable to get these fish to eat. I explained as the tide slows the snook lay down and wait for fast moving water. The snook we were looking at in the sand hole looked like pixie sticks laying scattered in every direction, which translates to snook unwilling to eat. So when you are out looking for the snook you want to look for a snook facing up tide of good moving water. I call them darts because they look just like a dart ready be thrown at a target. So get a bait in front of snook that looks like a dart and you got a bulls eye.
