hey Ben, awesome vid! I live up in Ga and fish mainly Lanier and freshwater. Still, I love love love Snook fishing from the beach. Started it yrs ago in sanibel! I’m 90% artificial but do enjoy live bait from beach later in the morning when artificial dies off. It is best way and guaranteed way to catch in pods for sure!! Heading down to anna maria in early June, so anxious to fish there since I never have. I plan to do some big swimbait nite fishing too. Loved your vid!
Awesome video. This is literally my favorite thing to do here. Love using whiting on the beach, even when they are dead they will still get bit. I use a 4/0 owner Aki J/bait hook for whiting that big and usually don’t have any issues hooking up. What are you using to get the whiting? I get them in a cast net but on a super clear sunny day they can be tough to net.
Question: I am a bass fisherman in vacation in longboat key, I never do saltwater fishing and I've been interested in catching a big snook. The rig I have set up is a 20 pound leader on a size three circle hook with a large egg sinker above the swivel. I've been catching pin fish with a different rig on a smaller rod, and I also have cut squid, I was wondering if I should use live pin fish, cut pinfish, or squid? Is that rig good? It's all I have and I don't want to buy anything else and if it works it works. Thanks for the video!
can u stop keeping the snook out the water for so long we see it on the go pro dont need to see it on ur second cam quick catch quick releases less stress on snook but love the content also subbed
Hey Ben, I’m a frequent Anna Maria Island . Going through the questions I see multiple people have asked where is this location. Yet, I see no responses to that particular question asked by your subscribers.
I’m at Anna Maria island till Monday I’ll pay u to take me fishing. I’m a bass fisherman at Heart ❤️ but love ur content would absolutely pay u to take me out this week. I’m on the island. It’s 6/5/23
You honestly should be ashamed lol you did everything wrong in multiple levels from 20lb leader for big snook to using a half pound bait on a medium light bass rod then too not fixing your wind knot and a myrical you caught that fish but this video is seriously should be titled what not to do........that's also a shame a florida fisherman solf his gear to chase bass smh yeah just stay bass fishing

Live pin fish and if you’re fishing in water shallower than 8’ deep I’d free line it
Good release!! Absolute slot
This was so informative holy shit lol
A surgeon knot (4 passes) is quick and strong for joining lines. Trout fishermen use them to join lines, and Dr’s use them for stitches.
Using gamakatsu explains alot

You can't beat sight casting snook on the beach!

Hey Ben,

Did u findout
Most fisherman aren’t going to hand out there spots.
Do some scouting around and it should pay off. The island is loaded with plenty of good spots.
Setup ? Braid lb.?

@@tmwwa I found the spot but where do you park to access it
@@jfy1 i’m sorry i’m 10 days late.. i parked at a public access beach and had to walk a good ways down the beach.
If you want to catch monster snook on Anna Maria Island, fish at night with a live ladyfish for bait. 😊
Ben. Where on Anna Maria Island is this?
What beach were you at? The actual beach name
NW end of Longboat Key. The house he's fishing near stands out on Google maps as it's seawall protrudes into the ocean. Tight lines!
What size hooks ? Are you using a medium light rod??
