I've seen both needlefish and ballyhoo get hammered by snook under lights at night. A lure that mimics them should be awesome.

Yup flair hawks and 7" diezel minnow are my go to big girl baits.

I’ll say this, I haven’t nailed the snook fishing yet but your advices on redfish lures and baits have done magic for me. Now I’m looking to use your knowledge and experience on summer snook. Thank you pumping a ton of content out. You’ve made me a better angler sir.

NLBN and Zman definitely the top spots for me, love the diesel minnow

CA gettin pumped up for summer time snookin that diesel minnow is money that's my fav to

7” dieZel minnowZ are also quite effective on the big gals

Inshore, daytime, year 'round, hands down my go to lure is a white bucktail jig. The weight depends on the current but it works from seawall, beach or boat. Catches almost every other fish as well. Just a plain white bucktail jig with a red eye specifically. Nothing fancy. Ive tried them all the Strike King seems to work best. On the beach, cast parallel to the beach and grass line.

Have you any photos of the bucktail jig you prefer? And examples of line and leader and weight for water depth to get me started?

@@davidraguse2106 A good starting point is a Spro 1/2 oz tied to a couple feet of 20lb leader. You can tip it with a 3" paddle tail, or a grub or something too.

Big girl snook will definitely eat those slim swimz!! I encountered some snook that wouldn’t eat a slim swim on jig head..so I tried a naked hook and it got tore up off the docks under the lights.

Hey CA, I saw you driving down 19 yesterday. I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your knowledge for inshore on the nature coast. I am a huge fan of the channel🤙💪🎣

Love the 5" diezel! Caught my 1st cobia off of a pair of eagle rays this week from your tips!!

Great video CA👍🏽

Always enjoy your tips and info. I use the 4” and 5” DieZel minnow in the surf as well as in tidal waters🙌🏽

You say you can extrapolate things to other brands, and mostly thats true, but - aside from some issues I have with Z-Man, you cannot make regular soft plastics float and jiggle like a Z-Man. You CAN go the other way though. It's hard to rig Z-Man plastics, but there are tricks. I get them on twistlock hooks just fine. Not as easy as other brands, but it works. Try getting a regular plastic on a chinlock and you're as likely to tear the bait as to get it on there.

I've never caught a tarpon, snook, red, trout or flounder and I'm going to be trying for that slam next week in Tampa. Thank you for guiding my way saltwater flats Jeebus!

I should give DeSoto another try. ​@@notsure7874

Good stuff 👌

I love your content. Thank you for all your hard work and wisdom! I find it funny that you have to tell people that you're not saying these are the only brands that work and they can cross reference the specs/info to any other brand of their choosing. You would think that was obvious 💩 I'd also think it's an honor to be chosen by these tried and true companies to represent their product. Keep doing your thing C.A.! 🎣

Great info. Subbed

Solid lineup. Do you still prefer the pearl blue glimmer 5” diezelz in low light/night situations or something else? Also, if I’m throwing a herculez around bridges/fender day or night what colors do you prefer? Thanks!

Man, you look like Greg Berzinsky's brother from beardbrand even sounds like him to, I've been watching alot of the videos, great info

Did Z man stop producing the Grass Kicker? Can’t find them anywhere, online or retail. If so what is the difference between the diezel and the kicker? Thx

Great videos, I know you have to appease the sponsors, but I feel like some fly fishing videos would definitely get you some more views

Look out rattlesnakes are out

I want that hat
