What do you do when the fish are there and not biting? Snook are famous for this. As soon as they are full, they stop eating. But I’m not talking about that scenario. I know I’m a month too late with this particular question. What’s seems to be the problem, the water’s too hot and the fish are turned off.
Snook and redfish sitting motionless in calm clear water are likely not going to eat a bait as they are clearly in active. Increase your odds of catching fish by targeting fish in areas where they are active. The fish in areas with current or wind churned water are there for one reason and that’s to feed. Focus your efforts on fish that are already actively feeding.
Great intel! 100% agree!
When they are sitting like that it’s hard to get them to bite, even live bait at times. Nick gave some great advice, the feeding fish will stage in certain areas, that’s where you need to concentrate your efforts.
Awesome video and Spot On information as well … Job very well done Pat … !
Thank you sir!
Great video as always, Pat!
