Snook - I know those habs needles are tough to find - even up here. I was out on Marthas Vineyard for the last 2 weeks and was in #^&#^&#^&#^&'s Bait & Tackle in Oak Bluffs ( 508-693-7669 ) He's got a wall full of them. If you call and BEG he may ship some to you - but they did tell me that they're trying not to ship them out so that his regular customers will still be able to buy them as the fall run heats up

Good luck - I got mine!:D

hate to be a pain in the ass....but that hand feeding shot are big tarpon...and they will do that....especially around docks...were they are fed all the time....


the only time in my life ive ever been completely spooled was on a hundred pound monster....(on that xtralong A jointed bomber olive ive been talking about)....took that thing in waste deep water....roughly 15 yards from the beach....about 3 in the morning....right before he snapped the line off my empty spool he was a little jumping white dot way out in the ocean....

this is a snook....30lb 4oz. ......2 fatboys.....

if this is the size fish you new england folk call a mid sized fish....then i may never come home from my honeymoon....live in RI and change my name too "striper stalker" or something silly like that.....snook getter

Fish_n_Dive 08-27-2004 02:16 PM

yea it was in key west, where they are protected in dock areas. it was quite a shock when it happened!!!

This is a good size fish in the lower 30# range - not unusual and a good surfcaster that can actually get out to fish enough ( :wall: ) will get some of these...

.... And then there are the REALLY bigguns like this one over SIXTY caught last year from the surf:

John, If I lived near ya I'd be over every day helping myself to your plugs,, er, uh, I mean helping you make plugs:laughs: .

snook getter 08-27-2004 03:37 PM

snook
 
very good fighter....
that fish was caught 2 years ago on memorial day morning....
woke up at 6 and thought i was too late for prime time cause the sun was already peeking out....decided to go any way....

made about 6 casts on the south side of an undisclosed structure...nothin...walked to the north side....first cast bang....he started for the structure and fortunately by mistake my drag was set too tight...he turned...he decided to go north and started ripping line out after i losend it slightly...i started running up the beach to make sure that there wasnt to much tension on the line...and he was ripping line out like crazy so i kept running, running, running....when i finally got him in i was about a quarter mile away from where i hooked up....


the meat is pure white if you slit there throats before they die if not its slightly darker...taste just like grouper....the only thing finer is redfish or river flounder (in my opinion)...snook getter

DaveS 08-27-2004 05:15 PM

Snook, is it true that the winter months like December, produce bigger snook?

redneck24 08-27-2004 07:58 PM

hey snook, why dont you try salty's needles, you wont be dissapointed. :btu: and by the looks of it would love to get my hands on one of big fish needles.:shocked:

JHABS 08-28-2004 05:57 AM

redneck, Try a HABS, You wont be DISSAPOINTED............................. :btu:

spence 08-28-2004 07:42 AM
