How To Catch Snook At Night. Let the shrimp swim to and from the shadows to the bright lights. After all, this is the most important part of today’s article!
Here’s a basic technique for bridge fishing snook at night with a jig. As for the live baits , it will depend a lot on where you’re fishing, but usually live mullet, live shrimp and live pilchards will do nicely. Early and late in the summer months (usually end of spring and beginning of fall) mullet can be found on the beaches as well.
Plus, snook tolerate saltwater with ease which is why it’s not uncommon to harvest them from the gulf itself.
Anglers can target snook at night using both artificial lures and live bait. Let the shrimp swim to and from the shadows to the bright lights. If you hear or see snook or sea trout popping shrimp or minnows on the top of the water a gurgler will often fool them. You should fish somewhere that there is light, since it stimulates plankton growth.
