Snook Fishing Mexico

Snook live along the mangroves in the numerous lagoons. Some people prefer to blind cast diver, popper and slider patterns to the mangroves, while others will enjoy the early morning spotting of the larger fish along the open point, flats and deep cuts. There are larger fish in the 10 to 20 pound range. The smaller Snook are called "robalitos" in spanish.

Snook are sub-tropical fish and are most common to Central America. Historic changes in the earth's weather is what brought the snook to Florida. It is believed that during a great warming trend after the Ice Age, snook moved northward along the Mexico shoreline. They followed the perimeter of the Gulf of Mexico, down the West Coast of Florida and up the East Coast. Since then, continued changes in the weather patterns have just about eliminated the population north of Homosassa on the West Coast and Port Canaveral on the East Coast of Florida.

Snook are complicated animals. Among other things they are highly temperature sensitive. Like other fish they are cold-blooded animals, meaning they rely on the temperature of the water to heat their bodies. The snook's comfort range is between 68 degrees Fahrenheit to 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

Snook. Just the name strains even the imagination. Living in a jungle of snags or on open water Florida sugar-sand beaches, striking like marauding tuna or with the elegance of dining royalty, walking on water or slugging it out deep, there is nothing common about the Common Snook- except the animal's natural beauty and the memories the fish leaves with you after the fight.
