Climate change benefit
Always thought that my first ever snook catch would come from Bradenton, or Naples, or the Keys.
Nope.
Pulled a 17 inch snook out of the Deep Creek levee this afternoon. This MID-OCTOBER AFTERNOON!
I think I was more surprised than the snook.

Re: Climate change benefit
Caught one about that size on a redfin few years back in the aucilla in December I believe
Re: Climate change benefit
Cool catch!
Re: Climate change benefit
I never heard of anybody catching one this far north. But now tarpon and manatees are fairly common here, so why not? ![:-?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

They're catching snook in Jax on a regular basis and I've heard a few reports of catches in Georgia Saint Simons area).

Re: Climate change benefit
With rare exceptions, tarpon and manatee don't stick around during the winter, though. Snook can be found year-round as close at Crystal River.
Nice accomplishment, Gary.
An unusual catch but becoming more commonplace in the "ice age" we're living in.
Nice accomplishment, Gary.

Nice! You sure it wasn't a trout in a snook suit?
Good to know they're up here. ![:thumbup:](./images/smilies/emthup.gif)

Re: Climate change benefit
Anybody ever catch a keeper up here (28 inches)? Mine was lightly lip-hooked and sent back into the creek, so maybe I'll see it grownup in a year or two.

If it doesn't freeze. Snook ar delicious, but I don't think I could kill a keeper if I caught it up here.GaryDroze wrote:Anybody ever catch a keeper up here (28 inches)? Mine was lightly lip-hooked and sent back into the creek, so maybe I'll see it grownup in a year or two.

I figured others were finding them today. I caught these 2 this morning. The biggest was 21 inches.![Image](//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171014/df0828c25fd13420d839e0f2f1374a1a.jpg)
