Happy Bait - Fishing For Snook

Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Inshore
The Pre-pod white came in strong on the heels of that front and it lasted for a couple days and thinned right back out again. Steve from Atlantic Bait and Tackle got his keeper Snook and we were all real proud of him. Now that the pre-pod has fallen off we are back to waiting for the real bait to start showing up. Reports are sketchy, rumors of bait up around the Juno - Jupiter area are coming in hourly, all we can do is wait and try to dig up some 5 gallon buckets.
NOTE: If you are gonna go podding and plan on begging for bait which is fine, at least show up with your own bucket so you aren't fishing right next to the guy that is giving you bait. Its called civility.
