Big Bridge Snook Testing Out My Custom Rod
Спорт
I hooked two big Snook in about three hours while bridge fishing with my new custom made rod. The one I landed hit a Spooltek and the other giant I hooked up with thumped a green jig. This was an awesome three hours of fishing from one of my favorite bridges.

Me too, ha ha...I'm pretty sure I've fished eight time in two months for Snook at night and finally hooked up with some decent fish. Thanks for watching and for the encouraging words.
So happy to see this type of video. Easily my favorite style of fishing you do I love to see those snook from bridges and on jigs. Awesome video I hope to see more of this!!!
Great 👍 video JC !! Nice custom rod !! Thank you for the video !!

What a great video and showing what fishing is all about. Great job
Great stuff JC 👏 appreciate you grinding it out 💪 always love your videos 📹
Man you have more patience than most. After 4 nights of fishing and only a cpl of snook most people would have found something else to do but that's hardcore for sure😎

Diligent man for sure. Fishing at the same time of Filming video seems a lot of work. Regardless of the big snook catch, you should be rewarded.

Those storm paddle tails are great. I will black sharpie the bellys of a few chartreuse and white baits if the snook are holding bottom. Just to get that strong silhouette.

Nice video. They've been thick in the river recently. But, their activity and feeding is dependent on the tides.

Hey JC, looking kinda lonely down there under that bridge. Oh, nice slot Snook down there... Good job man...

Drop that net over the side of the bridge and put your backpack on the rope so when you do hook up all you have to do is grab the rope and repel the net.
JC was wondering when you would return to that bridge. Great footage you have inspired me to be searching bridges in Florida for the big snook. The power clips you use could you link those so I can get some and help you out? Most likely 25 or 50 pound just would like to know what ones you’ve had luck with. Stay safe dude and keep the vids coming when you can

Hey JC, great video. What part of the tide do you have the best luck with snook whole night fishing? Do you know if those hit during a major feeding period? Thanks!
@RadReelingFishing
4 жыл бұрын
That's an interesting question for sure. As long as the water is moving I feel confident I might get a hit when I'm Snook fishing. One thing I have noticed with three Snook I've caught over 40" at night near bridges is that they hit when the tide was just starting or just about to end. Those big Snook were all caught on live bait, either pinfish or shrimp. Every location is different when it comes the movement of the tide depending upon the landscape and structure. When I jig fish I like to have fast moving current.

That’s a great answer. I’m trying to pay more attention to patterns in my fishing, especially snook. It’s crazy how you had all those nights with no bites, and then they turned on that night. I’m guessing you got them before this front or after the new moon. Thanks again!

JFC man! NEVER put a rod with a decent fish on up against ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY a bridge railing! The rod is supposed to be able to bend throughout most of its length. What you did there was create a fulcrum point: I’m shocked that rod didn’t snap like a firecracker.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I don't agree with you. The fish actually slipped out of my hand. Have you ever had that happen? Did you see the fish swim off strong? Well if you didn't see my friend, the fish was fine. It always amazes me how fishermen make comments and act like they've never dropped a fish. I've seen the very best of the best fishermen drop Snook from four feet in the air on to concrete and many others accidentally mishandle fish. I didn't mishandle that Snook in any way. I appreciate your input on this channel, but can hardly imagine that you are without doing the same at times.
