Some of the characteristics of Inshore Snook while fishing in the Fort Myers, Florida area are:

• The fight while on the hook: Snook are known for their explosive runs, acrobatic jumps, and powerful head shakes. They can test the skills and patience of any angler, especially on light tackle or fly gear. Snook are also very sensitive to water temperature and oxygen levels, so they may fight harder or weaker depending on the conditions.
• Size: Snook can grow up to 50 inches and weigh over 40 pounds, but the average size in Fort Myers is around 20-30 inches and 5-15 pounds. The Florida state record for Snook is 44 pounds 3 ounces, caught near Fort Myers in 1984.
• Strength: Snook are one of the strongest inshore fish in Florida, capable of pulling drag and breaking lines with ease. They have a large mouth and sharp gill plates that can cut through leaders and hooks. Snook also have a bony plate on their head that can deflect hooks and lures.
• Habitat: Snook inhabit a variety of habitats in Fort Myers, including mangrove shorelines, docks, bridges, oyster bars, grass flats, passes, and beaches. They prefer water temperatures between 68 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit, and will move to deeper or warmer waters during cold fronts. Snook are also affected by tides, salinity, and moon phases, and will often feed more actively during moving water and low light conditions.
• Coloring: Snook have a distinctive lateral line that runs along their sides, from the gill to the tail. They have a silvery-green or golden-yellow body color, with a black stripe along the lateral line. They also have a yellow or white belly, and sometimes a reddish hue on their fins and tail. The coloring of Snook can vary depending on their habitat and water clarity, but they generally blend well with their surroundings.
• Type of feeder: Snook are opportunistic predators that feed on a variety of prey items, such as shrimp, crabs, mullet, pinfish, sardines, pilchards, and other baitfish. They will also eat artificial lures and flies that mimic their natural food sources. Snook have a voracious appetite and will often strike aggressively at anything that moves near them.
• The coloring of the Snook in the Ft Myers Florida area: The coloring of the Snook in the Ft Myers Florida area is similar to the general coloring of Snook described above, but it may vary slightly depending on the season, water temperature, and clarity. For example, Snook may have a darker or lighter body color depending on how much sunlight they receive or how clear the water is.
