They seem to be moving in the gulf a little more, and with water temps and air temps on the rise I don't see why we may not start seeing a little snook movement to the GA waters. Every other fish seems to be moving farther north, probably trying to get away from all the floridians I know I do.

We used to catch them when I was younger in st. augustine, flagler, etc. & it seemed that was considered pretty far north at the time. They were usually smaller like the size of the one pictured but even small ones fight awesome with the right tackle.
I have seen a few winters in vero beach where the temps dropped and the canals were littered with snook belly up. If you wanted you could go by with a net and scoop them up. People were arguing they are going to die anyway. I agree with previous poster, probably would not see many in big numbers because of the water temp. Maybe a super breed of snook is evolving.

Is there a warm water Spring in that creek ?
I've seen many a dead frozen Snook in my time.
We lost more than Thousands bout 10 /15 years ago way down here in far Glades Country.

There is a kid on YouTube that catches them in Golf Course ponds on St. Simons. He catches some decent baby tarpon too in those ponds. Of course they are ponds that have culverts going to the marshes.
