The Snook is a member of the centropomidae family. It is alo called robalo in Spanish countries. Snook is present in both Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Snook inhabit shallow coastal waters, estuaries and brackish lagoons, often penetrating far inland in fresh water. Their movements between fresh and salt water are seasonal, but they stay close to shore and never stray far from estuaries. Snook diet consists mainly of fish and crustaceans. Best fishing methods include trolling or casting artificial lures or still fishing with live baits like mullets, pinfishes, shrimps, crabs, or other small fish. Seems that the best fishing action is on the changing tide, especially high falling tide around river mouths and coastal shores and night fishing from bridges and in ocean inlets.
