People say that shrimp is tha best bait for snook. Yeah, but what if you can't get them ?<br />Here in puerto rico we are useing wha t we think is one of the best methods for getting these beautiful fighting fish. we are useing the super flukes lures. me use 4/0 owner hooks hidden in the body of the fluke as if it were a worm for bass.<br />We go on our boats and useing the trolling motor we pass beside the mangroves and throw the flukes with the rods as if it were pitching a softball.<br />this method id the best we have tried because we send them the bait straight to there mouths under the mangroves.<br />just some info for the snook lovers with boats.<br />do you know another way beside live bait ?<br />welcome to come to puerto rico for great fishing!

Re: SNOOK FISHING? BEST LURE!

you can try some jigs. red and white are popular.<br /><br />red and white lures are also popular, if i were you i would try some lures that looked as much like their natural food as posible.<br /><br />you can also try the D.O.A. shrimp lure. you can order them on-line i'm sure, and you can get them in all kinds of colors. they look just like shrimp and i have caught snook on them lots of times.<br /><br />why can't you get shrimp? if they are not a natural food down there mabye the snook won't eat them at all.<br /><br />good luck and good gung fu (tight lines).<br /><br />derwood
