  Hello Anglers, This past Saturday I had the pleasure to fish with Drew Wickstrom from Fl.Sportsman Magazine. DrEw drove up from Stuart to fish with me in Fort Pierce. We launched the boat and got to our first spot at around 730 pm. We were not disappointed as I hooked up on a large snook on my 3rd cast.A 37 incher. It wasn't long before Drew's drag was screaming. The 39 1/2 incher tried to get away pulling drag for a great first run.Drew landed the fish posed for a quick picture and released her unharmed. At the first spot we tallied 3 snook all measuring 37-39 1/2 inches. We decided to move to another spot.  I dropped anchor and waited for the rope to draw tight Drew was already hooked up on another large snook. She was another beauty 38 inches. Anyway we tallied a total of 6 overly large snook in about 2 hours. We had decided to keep 1 legal snook before we started,a fillet each for Sunday dinner. I told Drew I knew a small area where I usually caught smaller fish. As we moved into position I threw my jig let it sink, tightened my line,3 cranks on the reel and FISH ON, We had our Sunday blackened snook sandwiches !  Until next time tight Lines,Tom Lewis

   Hello my name is Tom Lewis. When I was a small child, my Dad and Mom would take us kids fishing. As I grew, I always looked forward to the end of the school days in the afternoons because while most kids would get home and go outside and play in their yards or play videos games, I would load up the car with my mom and go to our favorite fishing holes. Sometimes we would have to wait for my Dad to get off work before we could hit the old south bridge for some extra ordinary snook fishing. This is where my snook fishing addiction started. The addiction still runs thru my veins today 40 some years later. My mom and dad are  both gone now,but everytime I head out I know they are with me.

   Hope you guys enjoy the blog - I'll keep the posts coming!

  Snook fishing should be great the next month or so. This  weekends cold snap is over and we are on a waning moon. So get out on the water and have some fun! Remember to fish our snook jigs slow with the water temperature a little cold.Work them down the shadow lines on the bridges. A helpful piece of advise, fish the snook jigs by casting on the upcurrent side of the bridges.This way the jig enters into a strike zone the whole cast.Let it sweep in the current as you reel down the shadow line. 

   Ps. Working on a First Light Tackle Snook Tournament. Calling it FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.

Will give more info as we plan it. Hope everyone has a great week!
