Rented a condo in NSB for xmas with the folks, went down to Bethune Park (up the road from JB's). The snook are stacked up in this cover like crazy. Yesterday didn't have any floaters but you could tell some were not going to make it through the night. Went back today and some big ones expired. Didn't have any way to check the water temp for an actual reading besides putting my hand in...it's cold. Water clarity is gin clear.
They were so thick I had a hard time getting my lure through them without getting foul hooked on almost every cast. Cool to see but not cool to see the big breeders going belly up.
Paddled around for a couple hours after getting my share of snook, saw a lot of small bait that had died and only came across a few reds that were super skittish. Nice paddle but a bit chilly.
