Snook are one of the most prized inshore fish. The challenge is getting them to eat, at times. You can put baits or lures right on their heads and they won't move. What is it that triggers snook fish to eat? We have answers for you. This In The Spread fishing video focuses on fishing inlets. The Florida coast line is loaded with excellent inlets, which in turn offer great fishing. You just need to know when to go and how best to fish snook in these passages. We are going to show you how to catch snook in inlets. The snook fish is a highly sought after saltwater fishing species and one that is closely regulated in Florida. If you are going to target robalo fish in the state, you better know the Florida snook season, slot and bag limits. The FWC does not play around with anglers that run afoul of the laws. Snook love inlets because they serve as choke points for bait fish being pushed in and out with the tides. This makes a great area for these elusive predators to ambush other fish. The questions are when is the best time to go, what are the best baits and tactics? You also have to consider the safety issues with running a boat in inlets where heavy volumes of water are moving in and out. Our instructors will show you how to safely operate your boat and explain the best times to fish for snook, based on seasons and tides. They will also break down all the tackle, line, leaders, rigs, baits and fishing techniques you need to wrangle big inlet snook.

The first challenge you are going to have is how to set up. Should you drift or anchor up? Remember, these predators will move in or out of the inlet as the tide changes.
