Snook

Jupiter, Florida, offers excellent snook fishing in a variety of habitats, from the Loxahatchee River to the Intracoastal Waterway and nearshore inlets. Snook here are opportunistic feeders, taking advantage of the plentiful forage available. The best times to target them are during the warmer months, especially around dawn and dusk. Focus your efforts around docks, bridges, and mangrove shorelines. Live shrimp and pilchards are always a good bet, but artificial lures like paddle tails and topwater plugs can also be highly effective, especially in low-light conditions. A key local tip is to fish around structure where snook can ambush prey. The Jupiter Inlet is a known hotspot, but can also be crowded, so explore the surrounding areas. Be aware of seasonal closures for snook and always practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
