Just want to say thanks brother! Anyone down in FL fishing FOLLOOOOWWW THIS VIDEO. Im from CT down in Longboat Key florida fishing the beach. Followed this guide. Filled my 5 gal with pinfish. Caught a 9lb snook on my first live line. THIS IS BULLET PROOF. Caught on a 6'6" tigerlite ugly stick with a Penn battle II. 30lb braid / uni to uni / 50lb floro, 5/0 circle hook. BULLET PROOF.
Thanks for the feedback, congrats on your fish! 👊
Only tiny tid-bit of advice I'll also add. If you can't afford or do not have access to a cast net. Or you just plain out can't throw one properly, get a small SABIKI RIG! My cast netting attempts failed, went to the baitstore grabbed two sabikis and two dozen live shrimp. Ripped the shrimp into chunks the size of dimes and put them on the sabiki hooks. 10 pinfish in the pail in about 15 minutes. Again! SABIKI RIGS for bait if you can't use a cast net or have no luck with a cast net! Caught bait on the beach in Longboat and also the bay side of Longboat so they can be caught in open water. But every good fisherman knows bait hide upstream in bays and rivers. TIGHT LINES!! This guy got me my first snook and he'll get yours too!
Great advice! Funny you should mention that. Here’s part 2

@phytobedo Fishing well would you guess I went back tonight and landed a 34" snook. Nice scream on the drag, landed and safely revived. I could do this all night!
That 50lb florocarbon is shredded too so great call on the heavy leader.
This is the best snook catching tutorial I have ever seen. Thanks.
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it
Make sure to watch my latest vid, it goes into more detail about catching snook bait
I caught my first snook more than 10 years ago using this technique. After that I've tried multiple other techniques from the beach, jigs, soft baits, etc. They work to an extent but never to the efficiency of the technique shown here. I went back to my beginnings.
Did you ever fish at night on the beach for them
@@MikeBurney9282 At early night is best time for the big ones to get confident enough to patrol the water on the very shore. You will see tarpon do this at night, and sharks too.
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen literally 123 thanks dude and nice snook 🙏👍💪😎
Thank you. I really tried to make it simple yet complete.
I seen this was uploaded on the 4th of Jul ? Must of booked you a spot on the beach for fireworks 💥 to huh 😂😂 is that Juno ?
I agree. This is one of the best vidoes I have seen on this topic. What Beach were you at? Thanks.
What an excellent video. And the fact that you showed us evidence that your technique works at the end of the video is super awesome. Thanks for sharing this. I'm subscribing. God bless!
Thank you Mo!
@@phytobedo I just started this new job and with my first paycheck I'm going to purchase a rod and a reel and I'm heading to Sebastian to catch my first Snook. This video has helped me a lot with your tips and ideas. I always thought I needed a sinker to catch Snook and boy I was wrong 🤦🏽♂️
From the beach, you don’t, but you might from the pier at Sebastian. Just do as the locals do when you get there.
Okay that's it, I'm moving down there!! Maybe I will see you on the beach someday. Looks pretty easy and you get to fish in the water, whats better than that. Fun video!!
It is a lot of fun, and the beauty is something we Floridians often take for granted. Thanks Don!
Thank you so much from France…
I will try your technique next august in Bonita Springs.
Seems so easy when I look at your video.
Good luck! 🍀
Nice video on the Snook; Phytobedo, I grew up in Florida fishing for Snook in Miami and Naples. I live in Georgia now and fish for Stripers in the same way that fished for Snook in Florida. I saw your Bass video and then looked at this one. Have you ever considered doing a Florida Flood Gate Snook video. Bucktails or Mirolures, or even live bait> We use to catch our bait at the pier or with a cast net and haul them inshore to the Flood Gates. SNOOK ON. and Tarpon. or you can catch Bream on the fresh water side and throw them over into the Brackish water side. SNOOK ON! Anyway liked your video.
Thanks Gary! I’ve fished spillways for snook for years, but before I started filming. My brother and I used to throw topwater chuggers out in the foam. It was a blast! I just might have to give it a shot. Thanks for the comment!
Your welcome i look forward to seeing you bust some good fish
Congrats. Best video I have seen about snook fishing from shore
People are gonna want more snook vids now. Super informative, and topped it off with a big snook.
That Bedo hat is perfect for you dude. Perfect
Thanks my man!
love love love Snook fishing from beach!
Never caught a snook from the beach. 3 days ago I caught @ 40 Croaker's 6-12" fishing for whiting...come Sept 1 I'm going to use your tutorial hope this is my year! Thanks 😊
Good luck!
Best tutorial I've seen. Been trying to find a good tutorial for snook and rigging and all that. Keep it 💯
Thanks! Good luck 👊
I was at sebastian inlet last night and caught some huge ones. Then went 25miles out offshore and got some mahi and king mackerel all good sizes too!
I caught a few nice snook in S. Florida canals using a fresh mullet I snagged from a bait ball. I'll probably get more next time since I was using the wrong kind of hook and lost half of them. Just sitting watching those rockets feed off a bait ball was amazing, that gave me the idea to treble snag a mullet for bait. Seems they cant resist.
Didn't tell my girlfriend I saw the video, so I bet her that if I caught a snook in 30 min I get me some putang at the beach , so I won, iwon, I won . Thank you
Jay Tua pffffff hahaha
Jay Tua 💀💀💀
I am proud of you!
public beach my guy?
Yep
One guy says small 2 size hook, nothing over 15 lb leader and line, tiny baits, you say, 30lb line, 50lb min leader and a 5/0 hook. None the less you all fish the trough and you both hook up. Lots of opinions and many ways work. Thanks for sharing.
There are certainly many ways to do it. The hook size is dependent on the bait size. You can’t use a tiny hook with an 8+ inch croaker, but definitely can with a small greenie or sardine etc.
As far as leader goes, if you use 15 lb, you are going to lose a lot of fish. Don’t do it.
Well, that definitely was a KISS video (Keep It Simple, Stupid). I admit, sometimes I over think things, thanks for boiling it down to some simple tactics, that just flat out work, nice job!
Thanks John!
Great video and tutorial. Will definitely try this method in November when I am down at my place in Florida
Thank you and good luck! Hit me up if you have any questions
Thank you for sharing your tips and experience.
I will travel from France to Bonita Springs this summer and I can’t wait to try your method….
Good luck! Let me know how you do or if you have any more questions.
I live in Florida I go to sebastian beach I use Sand fleas and shrimp I catch Snook all day every like 2 a day.
I like 5", 7/8 to 1oz top water lures with loudest rattle possible in fresh water. I've caught countless 34" to 38" snook this way. We need fish ladders on retention damns and we need to stop spraying herbicides in all the drainage canals contributing to red tide.
Hey dude thanks for the tips! Just moved to Miami and caught my first snook after watching this last video last night! The method really helped land it!
Great!
Longboat key to lido is snook paradise! Love to hit the Phillipe creek for some backwater action!
Nice snook! Thanks for posting this...us Great Lakes anglers (especially steelhead anglers) are used to going as light as possible on leader line, most often under 10 lb test. Looks like it's the opposite with surf fishing...go heavy on leader, and somewhat lighter on main line. I was hoping your braid main line wasn't too crazy as casting with heavier test braid main line can be difficult. You can cast bait a country mile with lighter main line (I generally prefer to stay under 30-35 lb test braid for main line). Will 100% try your method out when I'm in SW FL next week!
Thanks for the comment! How did you do?
@@phytobedo Mostly because of the time of year (mid Feb) we didn't catch any Snook. From what I've read and was told by some locals at bait shops, snook action doesn't pick up until March-April, so we were a little early, but caught a few other species while we were in SW FL, primarily saltwater catfish and some smaller species we caught surf fishing in Lovers Key (some rudderfish, etc.).
Awesome fish brother. Thank you for the tips.
I like the FG knot for tying my leader to braid. RUclips has several how to videos.
Me and my buddy's would take a 2/6 plank down in marco island. At the bridge and walk the plank. Walked that jetty and catch snook all night. We did it all winter. That was in the late 90s early 2000s. Now it's all gone the a hurricane came and took out the cat walk. We had so much fun miss those nights.
Sounds awesome!
Everything you learned from me!!! HAHAHA. How I miss those summers man!!
My man Dukes!!! They were the best
Loved your video! I live in swf. Love to fish! Ty
Love seeing my Juno Beach on youtube...👍✝️💜🎣🏹🇵🇷🇺🇸
Outstanding advice, thank you.
Great video! I wish I lived in Florida!
I’ve watched this like 5 times
Haha cool
Thanks for sharing this info. I know it's been a year but definitely very simple and straight to the point, I Appreciated it. New subscriber!!!
Thanks Gilbert, good luck!
Great way to handle and release, people should always consider the resource as well as you.
Thanks mp!
I sometimes keep the fish, there's nothing wrong with it, BUT
- only if it has the size big enough me and my wife to eat dinner from, anything smaller or bigger gets thrown back
- if we don't feel like eating fish that day: I throw it back
- only if it's within the legal size limit and a specie that isn't already struggling for survival of the specie
See, there's nothing wrong with catching and cooking a fish for dinner from time to time. What IS wrong is when you keep a fish just for the heck of it and do nothing with it later on. I've even seen people catch (big) fish and just hurl them on the hot concrete to let them die and rot, just because that particular specie was preventing them from catching them the specie they were specifically looking for (aka eating their bate). Some even went as far as literally stumping the fish to death with their feet. Those are the assholes that need a good kick in the balls, for real.
👍
Hi...im fishing in Florida thus July 2023. Are you using a Shimano Baitrunner reel with your technique. What size and what kind of flexibility on rod or what type of rod exactly for fish not to spit the circle hook out. I have fished Maine for Stripper bass with circle hooks and big Tsunami rod. Get big heavy bites...but fish feel it and let go?
Great video definitely going to try this at my local beach 💥🎣🇺🇸🌴🐟🌊
You might want to watch part 2 first.
down in naples theres giant schools of snook but they're so picky they wont eat anything I throw at em, gotta get a cast net and get one in august, great video.
Thanks! Yeah throw a live croaker to them with no weight. They’ll eat it.
You don’t have to wait for a net. Watch my video called “How to catch live bait for snook without a net.”
Epic battle there. Awesome catch dude!
Thanks Joel!
This helps a lot! I’m going to be in coco beach in a few weeks gonna give this a shot!!! Also gonna try it here in Pensacola for some reds. Good video!
Thank you, good luck! Let me k ow how it works out!
You won’t find snook much farther north than Tampa.
Any ideas for west coast of Florida around St Pete Beach area, you water and water temp is completely different? Also best times to fish? Thanks!
Do you keep bail open waiting for a strike?
Man that looks like a blast!!! I gotta get into that salt water game!
You know it buddy! Let me know if I can help you with anything.
Rookie question but how do I let the fish run with it before setting the hook with pressure? Just set the drag to the lightest possible or what? I used to set the hook instantly and now realized I was doing it all wrong. Thanks for the video
I usually keep the bail open and hold the line with my finger. When I feel a bite, I’ll let go of the line and let the fish run for at least 5-10 seconds. Then just wind tight. As long as you’re using a circle hook, 99% of the time, it won’t gut hook them.
Can't wait to get down to manasota key in May to try these techniques! Thanks for the tips!
Good luck! Let me know how you do!
@@phytobedo will do! subscribed and liked!
2013brzsubaru How did you do??? I’ll be at that exact place in June.
I’ll be trying this technique for snook too. Can’t wait.
Awesome, I’ll try this technique.
👍👍👍
Awesome brother! Next time you are in town let me know!
Thanks Jupe, will do!
Hello. I have another couple of question if you don't mind….. 1. What kind of reel, and size is that? 2. What kind of rod, what specs? Thanks.
The reel is a Baitrunner 3500 and the rod is 7 ft medium heavy fast action
I live in Lake Worth in South FL. I've gone to the beach near the pier about 5 times in the past 2 weeks just blind casting my net early in the AM and have had absolutely 0 luck getting any bait. I've heard that this is a good beach for fishing so really surprised that I cannot find a single bait at all. Any tips?
That is a little surprising. Bait should really be coming in thick around this time of year. Lake Worth is a good snook beach as well.
Maybe try this technique ruclips.net/video/Px4g1VDEKMA/видео.html
@@phytobedo I think maybe I was going to the beach when it was pretty rough the past couple weeks but now that it seems more flat calm Ill try again. Do you find that snook fishing isn't good when it's rough swells?
Yeah that makes it very hard to get bait when it’s rough.
Are you familiar with throwing a cast net properly? If not then thats prob your problem. You have to be able to throw it where it spreads out complexly or you are wasting your time. Might want to check out some YT vids showing proper techniques on throwing a castnet😎
@@jayjohnson9668 Yes I am very familiar and can throw a flat pancake each time with ease. Looking back on this comment though, I will say that when I first started trying this method in April/May 2021 I had 0 success and never caught any snook. However, in late June the bite really fired up and I was catching a ton of bait and huge snook every time I went to the beach. In this video he says any time of year works, but I really did not find that to be true, as the beach I went to was completely dead of anything until mid summer
Fun Video! Thanks Guys!!!
What are some of the recommended beaches i should try. Most beaches I've been to are too crowded
Go early...
Sorry I didn’t see this before. I agree with Thomas, go early. Also look for beaches that do not have lifeguards as less people use those beaches.
Thanks from Deerfield Beach
What time of day as isually snook is nite?
Thank you so much
I'm headed to Cocoa beach next week, any additional advice?
Good luck! These vids might help as well
ruclips.net/video/Px4g1VDEKMA/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/2q0sq69u1UA/видео.html
Would it better during outgoing tide or incoming tide?
Either is fine. I don’t have much luck at dead low tide though.
Great simple video! What size reel do you recommend?
great video! any tips on castnetting the croakers? is it best to cast net them during high or low tides?
Ken Podzielinski I haven’t noticed much of a difference.
Do you lock your reel as soon as you cast?
I keep the bail open and a finger on the line. I let the baitfish swim as freely as possible
Is beach fishing for snook like this only effective in the summer months? Or can this be done year round?
Year round. Your odds are just better in the summer. It’s also very good during the fall mullet run.
@@phytobedo Cool, thanks so much!
Nice video! Thank you
I don't keep Snook but summer months Snook season is closed on the east coast. Not sure about the west coast...
Great video, I’m an avid angler and am moving to Fort Lauderdale soon and will definitely use these tips. I do prefer casting lures. Any advice on that?
Just go to the beach and cast lures in the surf. Some good choices are Yozuri Crystal Minnow plugs, swim baits, top water will all work.
@@phytobedo thanks for the info. I seen another video and they were real high on soft bait like Z-Man “slam shady” paddle tails.
That will work
I'll be in Fla for a week and I won't have a cast net but what the heck I can't throw even an 8 foot one. I'm thinking I can pick up most of the bait your using with a sabiki rig so I think I'll take a few along. So what's your opinion. Can I just modify one of your steps and maybe pick up a short fish or two.
Yep. Check out part 2 of the vid. It will address exactly that
Are there good snook over down in the keys
I believe so
How far are you from St Pete beach? That looks like grand plaza hotel behind where your fishing
What pier was that
Amazing video! Wondering if you can use shrimp as bait to?
Thanks! Probably so
What pier is that? Heading down to Juno in a few days to target these on a solo mission and you fish like I do. People think I'm crazy fishing out of a brown bag but like you said, simple easy and on the go.
This is Juno
Well that's super awesome...I'll be there Friday morning and staying for way longer than necessary but super stoked
Good luck!
Thanks man. Any idea if there's been any kings or spanish caught off the pier recently? And do ya know if the pier has nets? I'm bringing drop gaff but any info helps. Thanks and sorry if I'm annoying. Fished alot of piers but not that one. The pier where I live in Charleston has gone to poop and we've only caught snook in castnets here in one specific location in years, which is weird any way you look at it, so the plan is to cross em off the list so to speak.
I would call and ask them about the net. Not sure on what they’ve been catching lately
Great video. I was listening when you said look for a beach with an inlet or pier, but is there anything specific to look for beyond that, birds, bait, rip currents? I'm not a saltwater guy, so sorry if it's not obvious
All of those things are good but not necessary. Snook often just cruise along the beach. They school up to spawn in the summer and really stack up near piers and inlets. Just get out there with some good old fashion trial and error until you find them 👍
@@phytobedo Awesome, thanks!
That was a nice fish. I wish I could catch fish that easily 😀
Thanks!
Where do you find Atlantic Herring, crokers or sand perch that size from the beach? I've been fishing South Florida beach waters for 50 years and rarely found any bait that size in my cast net on the beach. I love using 8lb test and small gear during the Snook beach Spawn on those breeders. Its a hoot!
I think it’s actually called an Atlantic threadfin. I’ve been seeing them from Ft Pierce to palm beach
@@phytobedo Juno pier?
Nice job bro.. 👍🎣
Thanks 👊
Any tips for fishing when theres seaweed everywhere?
It's been terrible in Broward this year. I've been out a few times got one small one
No, lots of seaweed makes it nearly impossible. I’ve had it ruin several trips this year.
How long of a leader is recommended?
About 3 feet
You live by Juno Beach, is that where that was? I went there 3 times, 1st I got broken off 2 times and had 1 spit the hook while in search of a drop net 🤦♂️, 2nd time nothing, 3rd time had my friends son watch my pole while I went for bait and he landed a snook 🤦♂️. I just want a picture with one big snook that I caught! Lol
Hahaha, great story!
Anyone know if this is west coat or east coast of FL?
What size is your mesh on the cast net?
We just so happen to be coming down to Cale Coral in 2 weeks…I’m definitely trying this method. We are going over to Sanibel to fish, anyone have some sweet areas that would be great spots?
Good luck! This technique will work at places other than the beach as well.
Finally a video that teached me something. I might have missed it do u free line the the pin or do u cast it out and engage the bail
I leave the bail open and keep tension on the line with my finger
@@phytobedo thanks for the reply. I gave up on getti g a snook but u inspired me. 1 last question prob a stupid 1. But r u letting the live bait take line out a little at a time or just letting it take as much as it wants.
I’ll let it take as much as it wants
@@phytobedo thanks for the info. Im on west coast but im sure same will apply. Great vids. I love the true teaching vids.
Finally got to the beach. Caught some pins but everytime i made a cast it would wind up against the beach and i couldnt keep tension. Any idea what i could be doing wrong. Great vid it made me want to snook
Similar to you, I’ve conducted many experiments in crystal clear Bahamian waters, where I could see the fish, using regular mono and fluorocarbon and detect no difference except what it cost me.
That’s good to hear 👍
Nice vid. I'm going to Dauphin Island in June.Do you think I'll catch them there? I seem to only catch shark, and monster specs there.
I’ve never been
Oh and how long was that snook. Was it a 40 incher
Excellent video thank you and Merry Christmas, I live in Hudson and have access to a canal at a friends house. The neighbor a few house away has green bait lights under his dock and my friend says there are snook in the canal. I have never caught a snook but think i'm gonna head over one night and try your method? Any advice on fishing that canal vs the surf besides the obvious more confined canal. Thank you again.
You might not catch croakers or sand perch in the canal, but any live bait should work.
@@phytobedo Thank you again, I will post my results.
Great video! I always make things more complex than they need to be. Looking forward to trying this technique in a couple of weeks.
Thanks Paul, good luck!
Loved the video! I frequent the Jupiter area a few times during the year. I fish the snook with artificial baits most of the time in the surf, and live shrimp near the piling on intracoastal. I want to try your method with the big baits. I surprised that you just blind cast with the net. Are you really catching bait this way or do you look for schools of bait before you throw?
I just blind throw for croakers. I have two other bait catching vids you can check out.
ruclips.net/video/2q0sq69u1UA/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/Px4g1VDEKMA/видео.html
Thank so much Bedo! I watched both of those videos. Very helpful, thank you! Keep up with this great content. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 👊
Was this by Juno Beach
Yes
June, July and August are the best months for to fish for snook because they are spawning and therefore, the season is closed.
You got it
Guess what I’ll be doing this week! Just need to learn how to use my cast net 😳
Watch my vid on how to catch snook bait without a net
What mic do you use for gopro audio?
On amazon, type Movo GM100. Make sure it fits your GoPro model.
So you fish with your bail open, wait a couple seconds when it hits, then close the bail and fight on?
Sounds about right
Phytobedo Fishing okay I’ve always wondered about that style of fishing. Any other tips?
How long should the leader be
3 to 4 feet
Thanks for the instruction! I’m going down to gulf shores Alabama at the end of July, think i could possible catch some down there???
Thanks Josh! I don’t know if they live there or not. I guess you’ll have to ask the locals.
You should go to the gulf state pier and there are tons of redfish and jack
Excellent, thanks for the tip!
Where did you fish? I’m headed to Clearwater FL.
Other coast
Thx I’m a big fan
Me and my friend have a channel called fishing masters we will recommend you.
And use your tips
Thanks! 👊
What size reel and rod do you use for this type of fishing? Would a med/heavy 3000 reel be heavy enough?
Yes that will work
I'm pretty sure that if you don't catch snook you will catch a monster jack
Yeah I didn’t catch i snook but I caught a 30 pound jack 💀💀💀
@@do2518 told ya
NICE - VERY nice.!!!!
What song is that playing at the beginning and end? Great video!
The snook song 🎵
Phytobedo Fishing haha
Hi, New sub here but just wanted to say thanks for a great video. I'm new to florida live in the Tampa area any idea where and for what I can fish from land, beach etc within a couple hours drives. I've tried fort desoto the skyway and st pete peir. Going to try them again with the technique shown in the video. Anyway Thanks thanks thanks.
Thank you Desmond👊.
I don’t know anything about Tampa, as I’m on the east coast, but I’m sure you can catch all the same fish over there. Check around with the locals, tackle shops, etc. if you have an Instagram account try to find some locals there too. I promise you the fish are there, you just have to figure them out!
Desmond same here...live in Tampa and new to fising. The spots you mentioned.are good. Try Johns Pass, Picnic Island and Ballast Point Pier. I am gonna try this method along the Gulf beaches...St Pete Beach area.
High tide or low? Hook to top lip only of bait?
Doesn’t matter
