If you have a competitive streak and are looking for the biggest snook in the Jupiter area, summer is a great time to hook it. Snook has long been regarded as one of the top eating fish in South Florida. Snook meat is white with a medium firmness, not as delicate as trout but not as dense as swordfish. Snook is also one of Florida's most regulated fish. Season is closed six months of the year. 

Summer’s choppy waters have more hungry snook available for the catch.  While fishing for snook in Jupiter Inlet, keep an eye out for lighted areas on the waterway. This is where you will find them feeding on minnows and shrimp after the sun sets.  It is still possible to get lucky with snook during the winter season as well.

Jupiter Inlet fishing offers a wide variety of Florida saltwater fish. While some are native to the area, there are a lot of species that migrate through the famed “Sailfish Alley”, providing many chances all around the coastal waterway to achieve your daily limit. The distinct combination of Loxahatchee River and the Atlantic Ocean waters creates a perfect location for fishermen to try for ample fish.

John Aiden Knight discovered that fish do not feed all the time. They are most prominent during specific daily feeding times, which are influenced by the sun and moon somewhat like tides. The feeding times are coordinated by major and minor times during the day, depending on when the sun and moon are the most influential.

To accurately plan out your fishing trip and boat days, check out a Major and Minor Feeding Time Chart of your choice.
