Local Species Insights: Common Snook
Common Snook thrive in Jensen Beach's diverse habitats, including mangrove shorelines, dock structures, and tidal creeks throughout the Indian River Lagoon. These ambush predators prefer current seams and structure where they can attack passing baitfish. Captain Dennis employs various techniques including live bait presentations with pilchards or pinfish, as well as artificial lures like soft plastics and swimming plugs worked along drop-offs and mangrove edges.
Snook fishing in this region heats up significantly during warmer months, but quality fish can be caught year-round with adjusted tactics. Their powerful runs and spectacular aerial displays make them one of Florida's most prized inshore gamefish. The Jensen Beach area offers excellent Snook habitat with its mix of fresh and saltwater influences creating perfect conditions for these structure-oriented predators.
