Never caught Snook but on my list. This is the kind of video I look for when it comes to fishing. Specifics and not just watching someone catching fish,
Good night of Snook fishing and topnotch tips for sure. I need to get me some of those miracle swimbaits. I hope you land some monsters in your upcoming adventures.
Love your channel man. Great fishing man. Really nice snook man.. Yea man. Amazing purple demon man.. I love throwing those man. I am headed out early am man.. This video got me pumped man..
Thonny, I met you yesterday on the pier. I was joking when I said "at a undisclosed location". Wow, you actually do respect the spots. Mad respect back at you. Next time you are down there, I'll see ya. I have some spots to show you. I'll share my spots with you, because you respect the locals. Bring a heavy duty rod and line with you. I know where some beast snappers are at, including some keeper Gags.
Angelo Blanda I’m using Simms sling pack! And the binder is made by Z-Man! Tackle box you can get it at St Pete Fishing Outfitters! Thanks for watching!!
Heading down to the keys from NY on Thursday for 4 days any tip will be fishing day and all night snook or tarpon have a load of jigs have you and information that will help us. If you wanna fish the north east in spring or fall for stripers let me know. Sean
Hey if you ever fished down by John's pass I think that's where you're at right here at the bridge go to Gators on the pass and off their back dock right there under the lights a lot of people don't know about it but you got to use live pen dish there is some of the biggest horse snook you ever catch there's some really big and also there's some nice group of back here too I go back there and order a picture of beer something to eat and every so often I usually have one at the local kids come down and I have more fun watching them hook into one of them big snook but I am one of your new subscribers I have seen about four of your videos and enjoyed all of them keep them coming
Hay thonny nice job bro... i Fish that spot Johns pass the other night scene about 10 nice size snook just hanging around the shallows by the boats I tried for a few hours to catch them using live small pin fish they come up to it then go away why ain't they hittin ? ... Any help would be great I plan on going back soon
Sometimes they just won’t bite. Typically if they see you they will not bite. I’d dishing for them real early in the mornings, evenings or at night. Were you free lining the pinners?
Where are you at man? I live in North Central FL and go all over, mostly Jax, fishing a creek for flounder right now lol. Lookin to beat the heat at night here soon with this summer heat, looks like you got a nice system already.
Here's a good place for you to try and it has every species of snook there is snook Island lake Worth Florida I just got back from there and the only thing you catch them on medium size and large golden croaker
Great video Thonny. I live about ten minutes from these spots and I’m so pumped to hit these this spring. Just ordered a few different Z Man lures and jig heads just based on this video. Of course I got them purple demon DeiZels on deck ready for some monster snook in a few months!
@@Thonny I’ll be sure to let know when the snook really start up… btw I was the guy that was talking to you at the pump this morning at WaWa… I hooked into a monster snook at pass-a-grill earlier but he snapped my leader after almost taking all of my line off my reel. Other than that just caught a bunch of whiting… hopefully the spot you were going to produced for you today.. hope to see you out there sometime!
Hey man I love your channel, I just moved from NY to Florida just need some information about where to find snook and what are tips to catch those fish
❤Lost my biggest Snook ever fishing Johns Pass ! On the east side fishing the incoming with a jumbo shrimp. There used to be a party boat moored there. The Snook hammered my shrimp as I was reeling it in. He headed for the channel and broke me off on something. I couldn't stop him. 😮
@@Thonny dope. You in FL right ? i still haven't made any fishing buddies out here yet lol maybe we'll link up one day. i gotta get out on the water a bit more.
Hey Thonny is the west coast bottom not very rocky since you’re using lighter gear? Over here on the east coast if I’m using lighter line there’s a 50/50 chance a snook might take me in the rocks.
Toe Knee the currents aren’t that bad at the bridge. It all depends on where you’re fishing. Definitely want to beefin up the tackle when fishing deeper water with strong currents.
It seems you're using VMC's 7266, I was initially employing them as well until noticing that I was losing to many already hooked fishes, during the fight. Nowadays I've switched to VMC 7237 and Mustad Kaiju and this problem has disappeared. Didn't you face this issue as well?
JP bite hasnt been very active the past week or so not sure why, been fishing park & park for my snook fights, would love to come across that first spot lol
Hey thonny love your channel man really great content was wondering if you could recommend I guess a kind of snook starter kit if you will to get going after these water beasts thanks again ✌️
I'm on the treasure coast of Florida more or less it will most likely be bridges, jetties, and inlet I read they can be caught from the beaches too as for live or lure I'm a lure man myself
@@kristopherturner3016 I personally would go with a 6k reel Penn or Shimano 40lb braid 50lb or 60lb leader material. For the rod I’d look into a st croix avid 8ft heavy 17-40. Powerhouse combo to throw 1oz-2oz jigs, yet still light for what it is especially if you go with a 6k Shimano Saragosa
@@Thonny yesss thanks thonny youre the man gonna hit the stores to see what we're working with wish me luck and good luck to you on the water wheather today or in the future thanks again
@@Thonny You don't need a 6k reel and a St croix Rod. 3k or 4k reel with 15-20lb braid is absolutely fine. I've caught large snook on a 3k EASY! I prefer a 7'6" medium heavy rod. Great cast distance for lure or live bait. Strong backbone for snook and red fish.
Brooo i know exactly where this spot is my buddy on fishbrain jon showed me that spot 🤙🤙🔥🔥🔥 would love to run into you out there bro 😎😎 awesome video 📹
Hey buddy I'm from Houston Texas down here visiting can you hit me up lemme know were can I go what to use right now to catch snook and tarpon thanks I'll be down here for a week or so would love to possibly go fishing with you pay for your time
Salty Lunkers medium heavy to heavy action rod. It depends on where you’re fishing for them. If you’re fishing structure then go with medium heavy to heavy. If you’re fishing the flats for them you can even go as light as 7’ medium action and a 2500 size reel. As far as live bait. They like greenbacks, shrimp, mullet, mojarra, WHOLE ladyfish. Big snook will swallow while ladyfish and lizard fish. Also, cut bait!!
Thonny that wawa seemed familiar I stay in Lehigh acres area idk when you say gulf coast if it’s the one close to me but bro pmo with some fishing I’m trynna catch some snook also what do you recommend on a set up? I was looking at Stradic fl 4K what you think?
Ahhhhhhhhh I know EXACTLY where your at ...look out for the security guards they there from about 8 PM to 6am.....enjoy it to cause a new restaurant bout to open & all that area gona b hard to fish
Hey Thonny another great video. Seems like that Z Mann Purple Demon is the ticket... that paired with moving water and shadow line, those Snook don’t stand a chance. 👍🏼🎣

Like this comment if you love snook fishing!!
What size reel would you recommend for keeper gags of the skyway
Caleb Anderson 8000 size reel and an extra heavy 8ft rod! 50-100lb or more.
Caleb Anderson conventional is gonna be better than spinning since you can gain more line faster with a conventional reel
I do love snook fishing but I'm 45 mins inland . I wish I was closer to the bay!
@BAMA 1986 Are you saying Texas doesn't have snook and peacock bass or just peacock bass?
I’ve Been snook fishing Tampa bay for 30+ years and I love watching your videos when I can’t be out there! You’re a good fisherman bro, great videos!
Healthy fish, showing them the fire baits. The purple demon is where it is at. 🔥
Joshua Taylor thanks for watching capt!
What do yall think about the purple demon in the daytime?? Great vid as always homie. Im down here in Bradenton so not far brotha. Tight lines!!
Brian Zantop never tried it. I think it’ll still work though!

Thank you for watching!
@@Thonny watching from Guyana. South America btw.
Great advice, you certainly know your stuff. That’s a great spot, fished there since 1969.
What size of Tampa is this on

Great work Mr Fins. I was at the doctor yesterday and he said I needed to lower my sodium intake. I told him not happening, I subscribe to Salty Fins.
Head First Fishing 🤣 thanks for watching capt.
What type of soft lure keeper do you have? I like the ring.
That’s a z-man small bait binder!
Good night of Snook fishing and topnotch tips for sure. I need to get me some of those miracle swimbaits. I hope you land some monsters in your upcoming adventures.
Rad Reeling Fishing thank you JC!! I appreciate it man. Looking forward to this summer
I love both of you guys channels. Keep up the good work 👏
Ramiro Rivera I appreciate it!!
If you're ever in the Ponce Inlet area, check out the 3 bridges on Spruce Creek area just west of the inlet...
Is this johns pass in st Pete ?? I love fishing here
Nice job landing the snook. Nice location too. 5min from my house. You're right. Gotta respect the local anglers.
Orleannist Garcia thank you for watching!!
Is it john's pass?
It sure is not..
@@Mrs.TooShortt lmfao
Thonny what's the model number for that bag?
Unfortunately it’s discontinued! But it’s simms sling pack. You can check out the new ones on the website
I know your in Pinelas county and I used to kill it by Gators at Johns Pass. Caught my 42 inch PB snook there.
That’s very impressive sir 🙌
Nice job.
I’m going out tonight fishing docks near Tarpon Springs on an incoming tide w new & great advice.
Love your channel man. Great fishing man. Really nice snook man.. Yea man. Amazing purple demon man.. I love throwing those man. I am headed out early am man.. This video got me pumped man..
I swear this looks like John’s Pass. Madeira Beach side. My folks have a condo on the beach 100 yds from you. I’ve fished where you are since 1979
I definitely plan on som night time inbound tide fishing this year.
Thanks for another great video.
Aaron Baker hope you crush it man!! And thank you for watching the vids!

Saint johns pass
Plz plz plz tell me where I can go for some nice gags.
Interested to know what tackle bag you were using and also what was the name of the variety box you had the assorted jig heads in. ... great vid BTW..
Angelo Blanda I’m using Simms sling pack! And the binder is made by Z-Man! Tackle box you can get it at St Pete Fishing Outfitters! Thanks for watching!!
The bridge's on the passes are the best at night. You can catch anything that's running. Great video man.
Jeffrey Waters absolutely man! One of my favorite types of fishing!
Love the way the drag sounds
FatBelly Fishing thanks for watching Logan!
MAN!!!
This video was beast mode. Nice work brother man! PuRpLe DeMoCrAT! 🔥🎣
Not A Fun Loving Guy thanks man!
Great vid, will definitely be by the bridge when I come down in June. Too bad they are not in season . As good eating as pompano.

What size jig head you using
1/2 oz!

Sometimes they just won’t bite. Typically if they see you they will not bite. I’d dishing for them real early in the mornings, evenings or at night. Were you free lining the pinners?
Link to your little tackle box/flip book? Looks so convenient for all those packs
Yo! I’m out in Marco Island! I’m going to take your tips and hope to catch a snook! Is October a good time for snook? Or tarpon?
Yea the snook should be biting !
What type/size hooks can i switch out for lures with treble hooks. I also have the yo zuri minnow
ahhlurkin Try Owner inline 2/0
Do you know anywhere else i can get the purple demon zman since st pete outfitters is closed?
Gator Jim's... They have 3doz shrimp for 10$ just ask. Dogfish or betts is open but in pinellas County
If you are fishing bridges with live bait do you put a sinker on? If so how heavy?
MrGabys91 yes a sinker or you can free line with no weights on.
I have yet caught a slot and I want to get on these bridges. Do you think my 3000 Stradic ci4+ can handle these sizes? Lol
Jared Gomez absolutely in open water like the flats. But for bridges I’d go heavier than the 3k
Saltyfins I figured. My biggest was probably a 20inch lol.. would you recommend a 4k or 5k?
Jared Gomez I would go with the 5k
Jared Gomez medium heavy action rod
Love that combo - what was the rod make a model?
It’s a Kris Greene’s custom rod 7”3 10-20lb MH
You're crazy running a 30lb leader!!!!
Solid video, Thonny! I think the bait was straight. Man idk how you put that ZMan on first try. I can never get them over the bait keeper. Beast snook
Thanks for watching Chris!
Try the z man headlock or the trout eye on them!
I second the trout eye
Whats the bait called on the website
Where are you at man? I live in North Central FL and go all over, mostly Jax, fishing a creek for flounder right now lol. Lookin to beat the heat at night here soon with this summer heat, looks like you got a nice system already.
Tampa bay!!
Great video! Respect! Do you mind sharing what lighting you used?
Aputure AL-M9
@@Thonny Thanks! Great quality and well executed! Subbed!
Where did u catch these snook at man?
Try the inshore twitch bait from yo zuri great for jack reds snook and trout
G.O.A.T santos thanks man! I’ll have to give that a try!
I love seeing local fishing youtubers enjoying the same spots im always at. Hope to see you there someday

Thonny what!!! I need to learn the spots
Leah Schield they should be at the beach throughout summer!

Still recovering from red tide.
Stumbled across your channel, great video! I miss saltwater fishing in fla.

@@Thonny one of my favorites!
I have a question? What size reel
I was using a 5000 size reel in this video!
what pound is your leader line while bridge snook fishing
Arman Aminni use 50+
It depends on where Im fishing at! typically 40lb braid and 50lb leader! but In the video I went a bit lighter.
Saltyfins thanks ... keep up the great content 💯💯
Arman Aminni I appreciate you watching!!
Tell me about your results after taking off the trebles
where exactly in tampa are you fishing?
Do you do any early morning snook fishing on the beaches?
John Campbell yes first light go with small presentation and u will kill it
yeah man!!! they should start heading toward the beaches soon to spawn.
Any locations near palmetto/Bradenton?
long boat key!
are you letting it hit bottom? or just letting it go down a bit
Slow retrieve mid column

I appreciate it 👊
Where were the location where you were at
Cool fishing man!! Hey try a loop knot on your jigs gives em more action and you can feel the lure better imo. I just subbed. Keep em coming man!!
Stan Carson thanks for the tip! I’ll have to try that. And thank you for the sub and watching the vids!
