09-01-11 THURSDAY: SNOOK SEASON IS OPEN!

It's the first day of Snook season and the north jetty is crowded with anglers hoping to get their first Snook of the season. The bag limit is one per person per day and they must be between 28" - 32". You must have a Snook stamp on your license if you get one in the slot and plan on keeping it.

Keeper Reds have been very active and most anglers are getting their one per day. Yesterday it slowed a little, according to Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach. Mike said about 60% of jetty anglers went home with a keeper. That is still a good ratio for keeper Reds. Finger mullet are working well for the Reds. Ladyfish and Jacks were active yesterday with some of the Jacks in the 5 - 6 lb range or higher. Thanks for the update and our first photo today Mike.

Our last photo today is of Mark Holasek of Kissimmee. Mark holds a Pelican that dove into a Jack frenzy and got hooked. He reeled him in and unhooked him without incident and the Pelican flew away happy! Nice work Mark.
