Starting February 1, the recreational harvest season for snook opens up along most of Florida’s east coast. They are looking at environmental conditions, what anglers are experiencing on the water, and how different areas handle pressure. For anglers planning to head out, the rules are fairly consistent across these three East Coast regions. If you are fishing further south, the Indian River Lagoon region picks up at New Smyrna Beach and runs down to the Martin-Palm Beach county line. Moving down to the Southeast region, the area spans from the Martin-Palm Beach county line all the way south to the Miami-Dade/Monroe county line.
