Happy Fri peeps...nabbed a couple snook this AM and a trout, grouper, and ladyfish. Hits were sporadic but quality. Lots of whitebait on the flats is helping. Caught on 3 inch shady paddle on a 1/8 weedless owner screw lock. Have a great weekend🤙

Was so excited to catch my first snook I fully forgot to post it. Caught off Wiggins pass. Didn’t think I was gonna catch anything with them dredging the pass but snagged into this little guy about 30yr out the mouth of the pass with a top water lure
