One very noticeable and disconcerting anomaly was the lack of quality Snooky and in some areas any Snooky.

The Glades got hit hard and the recovery is still very much in its infancy.

In one particular area every spot that looked Snooky held fish but Trout not Snook. A place where before 2010 those spots would have held several Snook.

Only one slot fish caught in 3 days of 12 hour fishing session by 3 able fishermen.

John,

Interesting. We had more or less an opposite experience a few weeks prior. Pretty much every downed tree with a little nearby water movement on the east side of Whitewater held snook. We only fished them a couple days in favor of tarpon out on the coast, but it was snook city. Definitely the best snook fishing I've had in the Glades (either Flamingo or Choko) since the freeze. Have you traditionally done well on snook in C-bay this time of year?

That is interesting Dustin, maybe we need to venture to WhiteWater on the next trip

Yep typically the areas we fished have held lots of Snook, much more than Tarpon, maybe they have juts shifted there residence, thats greta to hear they are still around though, thanks for the feedback Dustin.
