SNOOK at Silver King Lodge A Pair That Would Make Any Snooker Proud Snook like those above can be caught by anyone coming to Silver King Lodge. Our guides know all the best haunts of these monster snook. Those who choose to fish the river mouths have a chance of catching record size snook while those fishing the rivers in the traditional manner will tend to catch fish in greater numbers. In the months of December and January the "calba" or fat snook migrate up the rivers to spawn. These snook can be caught in great numbers - 20 to ? - in just a few hours. They are not as big as normal snook ranging in weight from 6 to 10 pounds but fight just as hard. Tackle is medium light with 8 to 12 pound test line preferred. Some guests use ultra light spinning tackle but it should be remembered that tarpon lurk in the same waters with the snook and many giant snook turn out to be tarpon over 100 pounds. Lures that work consistently are jigs with rubber bait tails in darker colors if the water is stained and light colors in clear water. Many are caught on surface lures as well as noisy diving plugs such as rattle traps.
