The Fish : Snook

Perhaps the most under-rated and under-fished
gamefish in Ascension Bay, snook are a favorite target
for Palometa Club anglers. Reclusive, but actually fairly common –
and fairly big! – in many areas of the Bay, these hard brawling junk
yard dogs readily smash surface poppers and streamers from the
edge of the mangroves. Once hooked, it takes a great deal of skill to get the
fish into open water where the real battle begins. If you’ve caught enough bonefish for the day and the permit are too busy earning their reputation, spend a few hours fishing for snook. You just might discover a new favorite fish.
