Upper Tampa Bay - Snooker_Stotz - 11-26-2008 Well it's that time of year when all you hear is "the snook will be moving back into the creeks and residential canals". I'm lucky enough to live on a creek in the upper tampa bay area that fills up with snook during these months. There are resident fish that live year round in the brackish water, but there's no comparing the action now to the bite say mid summer. Me and my neighbors wait all year for what we refer to as "snook day". This occurs usually right after the first cold snap, last year on this glorious day me and my neighbor landed easily between 10-20 fish throughout the day. Don't get me wrong most weren't slot and we got more dinks than picture worthy fish. But still you can't beat it standing in your own backyard. So far this season I haven't landed the same quantity of fish but I've been catching and broken off by much bigger linesiders. So if you plan on pushing up into the creeks and canals after the snook I would offer this advice: [bob ![]() [bob ![]() [bob ![]() So good luck , and happy snookin!!! [signature] |
