local snook – surface killers

[thiago zanetti brazil]

this is my favorite fishing.
Centropomus Undecimalis fishing on mangrove rivers.
I dont care they are not as big as in central america but they are really fun and exciting to fish with streamers on sunny days and topwater flies on cloudy days.

Thiago –

Nice snook; are they the same species that lives in Florida?

to eat!!?? We have a hard time teaching people to release them, only those that fish with live bait use to kill snook here.

Thiago,

That is a wonderful and interesting post.

Hahaha, sorry Thiago.

Nice snooklets.  Snook are my second favorite fish to catch.  Ours are the same species, but they grow a little bigger.  Here on the Gulf coast I’ve seen snook up to 39″ and they get a little bigger on the Atlantic coast.  My largest snook was about 32″, caught sight casting a gurgler on an 8wt.

in the south of the country – where I live – peacock bass are not found.
They are found from the southwest and southeast and up to the Amazon.
In the Northeast there are rivers with:
snook
dorados
peacock bass
tarpon
and some with largemouth bass
all in the same river.  😀

Here in the south is much colder so peacock bass wont live. But we have some nice largemouth bass.

thanks for the feedback folks.
