Fish both inlets on the island. The northern one is shallow and the southern one is deep. The one on the south side is famous for tarpon and is called Boca Pass. The snook should be on the beaches and in both inlets--jigs and plugs on the night tides. I went down there last year in March and the tarpon run hadn't begun yet. I fished for snook. Bring as many rods as you can, both light and heavy, spinning and conventional. The two tackle stores on the island are mostly fly; the one north of Boca has everything else. Cool spots in the backcountry as well. Good luck to you.
