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.
Really appreciate the simplicity. Thanks for not over complicating it!
My pleasure
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 ?
Fantastic video! THANKS! So simple and so effective.
One magical post-dawn morning, many years ago, I caught a 47" snook right off the sand on the back side of Sanibel island, using a chartreuse feather jig tipped with a sand flea. It was an incredible experience. Next time I go after snook THIS is the technique.
Fly- lining Live bait is so effective, no matter where or what you are fishing for.
Thanks for sharing!
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
Congrats. Best video I have seen about snook fishing from shore
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
Thank You for sharing this info , simple and tells you exactly what you need
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 only hooked a snook once while fishing next to a Rusty Pelican. I was using frozen thawed shrimp and this was probably the biggest fish I've ever faught! Unfortunately, the hook broke off before I was able to land it. I was in too much shock to even care.
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
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!
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.
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!
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! 🍀
Thanks for posting this! This is great info!
Loved your video! I live in swf. Love to fish! Ty
I did this technique without even seeing this video and i thought i lucked out lol. Good to know this is a expert way of doing it 😅
Outstanding advice, thank you.
All awesome tips. Personally, 30lb braid & 50lb leader are a bit overkill, but to each their own. Also, bubble boxes are awesome and you can make them last A LOT longer if you keep them in the blister pack they're sold in. Just pop the tube off and put a hole in the plastic, run the tube through the hole and plug it back into the bubbler. There's even a slot in the package already for the clip, and a few videos on how to do this
Great video definitely going to try this at my local beach 💥🎣🇺🇸🌴🐟🌊
You might want to watch part 2 first.
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.
love love love Snook fishing from beach!
Great tips, I plan on going beach fishing soon.
🤙
nice. i love the shot of all the boats jockeying for position off the pier!
Yep, trying to get on the bait while maintaining 500 ft distance from the pier
Awesome fish brother. Thank you for the tips.
Epic battle there. Awesome catch dude!
Thanks Joel!
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.
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.
Real nice video, informative and nice fish to prove it!
Thank you!
I agree that this is the best tutorial I’ve seen literally! Steps 123--- easy, simple, and economic! 👍👍👍
One question: why needs to use 50+lb leader. Thanks 🙏
Thanks! They will not usually be able to fray through 50lb leader. I’ve had them break through lighter leader.
Everything you learned from me!!! HAHAHA. How I miss those summers man!!
My man Dukes!!! They were the best
I agree. This is one of the best vidoes I have seen on this topic. What Beach were you at? Thanks.
Great advice went to naples this weekend and fished the beach ⛱ used artificials caught a couple small ones but got torched by one and snapped off only had 20 pound fluro tied to 20 pound braid though makes sense thx
Headed out to try. Thanks!
Good luck!
Awesome, I’ll try this technique.
👍👍👍
WOW! That was a nice one! Great catch!
👊
Fun Video! Thanks Guys!!!
Headed to Indian rocks beach the first week of April, hoping this method will work out for me. Never really saltwater fished, but enjoy fresh water fishing up here in Michigan. Thanks
Good luck!
I caught my first snook about the size you have there on my last day of vacation at Turtle Beach 2 weeks ago. I'm going back in September I can not wait.
Excellent, good luck!
Awesome brother! Next time you are in town let me know!
Thanks Jupe, will do!
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.
Longboat key to lido is snook paradise! Love to hit the Phillipe creek for some backwater action!
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.
Absolute best technique for catching them on hook and line. I would add night might be a bonus for activity & no sunburn but still catch the bait during the day.
If you can deal with the no see ums!
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 !...thank you !
Awesome !!! Clyde would be proud!!!
Ahahahahaha! Scrap the caddy Clyde
@@phytobedo one of my favorites
🦧
I like the FG knot for tying my leader to braid. TH-cam has several how to videos.
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.
That was a nice fish. I wish I could catch fish that easily 😀
Thanks!
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 video! I wish I lived in Florida!
I’ve watched this like 5 times
Haha cool
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!
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!
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.
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
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.”
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.
👍
Love seeing my Juno Beach on youtube...👍✝️💜🎣🏹🇵🇷🇺🇸
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.
Nice video! Thank you
Good job! Thanks.
Nice job bro.. 👍🎣
Thanks 👊
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!
Thanks from Deerfield Beach
Great simple video! What size reel do you recommend?
Exellent tutorial, congrats and thanks
How long is the leader of the line
About 3 feet
Great tutorial, new to fishing and the pier seems to always to very crowded by Dania Beach.
Thanks Gareth!
Its not crowded at 6 a.m.
Great video. Thx a lot
👊
Thanks for the tips..........new sub 🐟
Thanks, hit me up if you ha e any questions!
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.).
Nice job
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.
Amazing video
Thanks
Thanks great video I know you have paid your dues
👍
Thank you so much
I'm dying to catch a snook 😭 I have so many cruising past my house canal and they never take any of our live bait or lures. Going to use these tips!
Good luck!
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.
NICE - VERY nice.!!!!
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!
Amazing video! Wondering if you can use shrimp as bait to?
Thanks! Probably so

Awesome 👍. One day man.. I'm gonna hook one.
Yes you will
Very easy step by step
Thanks
Thanks brother I go for vacation from Russia every year to Clearwater Fl , see people catching big snook . Try to catch that awesome fish with my son, didn’t happen, going there may 27 to June 27 I will try your advice. Thanks
Perfect timing
Can’t wait to try this 2023
Good luck!
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
Damn! nice one!
Thanks!
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?
well made video
Thanks
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.
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
Give this vid a 👍. Leave a comment or a question and I’ll reply!
So I'm going down to Port Saint Lucie, arriving on the 14th.... would I be able to do this there? or should I head towards Sebastian or Juno to actually have success?
You could have success at any of these beaches. I don’t know st Lucie county beaches all that well personally, but the snook are definitely there. Hobe Sound, Jupiter Inlet beach, and Juno are sure bets.
I’be heard Sebastian is very good as well, but I e never been.
Yes, there are snook in Ft. Pierce inlet...BUT I'm going to give this a go...I've got all my gear ready to go... thing is I'm going to do this alone because my bro-inlaw doesn't want to leave fresh water to fish salt anymore...SO I'll enjoy this on my own!
OH and we went to the spillway...we got skunked BUT we'll be back there when I get down!!!
Awesome my brother... imma have to use live bait
Do it
@@phytobedo tried this morning with the hawgfather for the first time .. chucked lures for 2 hrs no luck.. live bait has to be a guarantee hookup
Don’t feel bad. I fished with live bait yesterday and caught nothing
Thanks for the video! What stage of the tide do you recommend fishing on the beach?
I think higher is better, but I’ve caught them on all tides.
@@phytobedo Thank you for your reply! Do you prefer in coming high or outgoing? Or fishing both over the change?
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.
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!
Thanks awesome three key steps… Was that Naples?
Other coast
