Atlantic Snook Season Closes June 1

May 29, 2019 By Florida Sportsman Editor

Atlantic snook to close in state and federal waters

The recreational harvest of snook in Atlantic state and federal waters will close on June 1.

Unique to the region, snook are one of the many reasons Florida is the Fishing Capital of the World. Seasonal harvest closures and anglers using proper handling methods when practicing catch-and-release help conserve Florida's valuable snook populations and can ensure the species' abundance for anglers today and generations to come. To learn more and see a video about catch-and-release fishing and the best way to handle a fish, visit MyFWC.com/Marine and click on “Recreational Regulations” and then “Fish Handling Tips.”

Anglers can submit their catch information for this and other species by using the iAngler app. Learn more on the Angler Action Foundation's website at AnglerActionFoundation.com.

Kayak Fishing Fun Senior Editor Thomas Allen elaborates.

YakAttack Kayak Carts Will Get You There

As kayaks have evolved and anglers have added tremendous amounts of tackle and accessories, the weight factor must be considered.

YakAttack has engineered several transportation options to help you get your kayak from the bed of your pickup to the boat ramp with ease. There are numbers of intuitive carts that carry the load on a reliable chassis system that virtually fits any style hull. Kayak Fishing Fun's Senior Editor Thomas Allen demonstrates the options in this video.
