Catching Snook and Redfish: A Local Tradition
If you’re after Florida’s iconic game fish, nothing beats hooking a snook in Naples. Snook are more common than redfish in these waters, and we have a real fondness for them. Visitors arrive specifically hoping to land their first snook, a highly prized fish thanks to its spirited fight and Florida’s unique habitat. When you finally get that first snook, we celebrate it: adults get a congratulatory handshake, while kids receive the hook they used as a keepsake. Of course, redfish are fabulous too, but snook are truly our pride and joy.
