Redfish & snook are regulated as catch & release at this time.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Already seeing some positive impact.\u00a0 Some very nice big redfish and snook around, more big redfish than snook.<\/p>\n

The Caloosahatchee freshwater releases are also not an issue right now, but still a huge long-term problem.<\/p>\n

Extremely frustrating.\u00a0 We need wholesale changes in the Florida state government.\u00a0 It is not a Republican or Democrat issue \u2013 it is a Big Sugar control everyone issue.\u00a0 It is stunning how we continue to let the sugar industry and the agriculture north of Lake Okeechobee to damage the water and all of Florida.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re located in Castaways Marina, Santiva, Sanibel Island, just before the Blind Pass bridge to Captiva Island.<\/p>\n

Turner Beach, the beach adjoining Blind Pass, is frequently covered with a bounty of shells from Olives to Fighting Whelks to the more common Conchs.<\/p>\n

The fishing is also renowned for sharks in the summer, tailing redfish on the bayside flats and snook under and off the Blind Pass bridge. Because Turner Beach faces Westward, the sunsets are spectacular and a popular viewing point for residents and visitors alike.<\/p>\n

The common snook is also known as the\u00a0sergeant fish<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0robalo<\/b>. It was originally assigned to the\u00a0sciaenid<\/a>\u00a0genus\u00a0Sciaena<\/a>;<\/i>\u00a0Sciaena undecimradiatus<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Centropomus undecimradiatus<\/i>\u00a0are obsolete synonyms for the species.<\/p>\n

One of the largest\u00a0snooks<\/a>,\u00a0Centropomus undecimalis<\/i>\u00a0grows to a maximum overall length of 140 centimeters (4.6\u00a0ft) but common length is 50 centimeters (1.6\u00a0ft).

Many[who?<\/span><\/a><\/i>]<\/sup>\u00a0believe that snook originated in Central America and that changes in the earth\u2019s climate are what brought the snook to Florida. It is believed that during a great warming trend after the Ice Age, snook moved northward along the Mexico shoreline. They followed the perimeter of the Gulf of Mexico, down the west coast of Florida and up the east coast. There are massive snook in Central America, although they seem to look a little different because of the weather and water quality but besides that, they are the same.<\/p>\n

\"Snook,<\/a>
Snook, Sanibel Island Fishing, Catch & Release, Captiva Island, Friday, May 17, 2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are no restrictions in most of Central America on the size or quantity of snook one can keep, consequently, many locals have been keeping and killing the massive snook for quite a while.[18]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Occurring in shallow coastal waters (up to 20 meters (66\u00a0ft) depth),\u00a0estuaries<\/a>, and\u00a0lagoons<\/a>, the fish often enters\u00a0fresh water<\/a>. It is\u00a0carnivorous<\/a>, with a diet dominated by smaller fishes, and\u00a0crustaceans<\/a>\u00a0such as\u00a0shrimp<\/a>, and occasionally\u00a0crabs<\/a>.[19]<\/a><\/sup>\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>Please see more information here.<\/a><\/p>\n
