LAST WEEKEND BEFORE SNOOK SEASON CLOSES on the ATLANTIC COAST of FLORIDA

The Florida celebrity fish, the Snook, is a delightful fish that essentially resides in the southern half of the Florida peninsula. Snook have a season that anglers are able to catch from September 1st through December 15th on the Atlantic coast of Florida.
