I was also a little frustrated because the snook loves the Brownsville Ship Channel, with lots of dock trash and deep water, which is usually "closed" due to Homeland Security measures. Boo! Well, I'm going to hire a guide and try to catch one on an utlra light - I can't fly fish worth beans.<BR/><BR/>As to the dreaming part, I remember wanting to invest in shrimp and prawn farming (aquaculture) back in the early 1980's. Everyone thought I was a fool (I even grew some Hawaiian prawns in a kiddie swimming pool). Now imported farm shrimp is 80 percent of the US market. <BR/><BR/>But snook? Probably way too hard to keep those boogers happy in captivity ...Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10291496.post-1112280343844346802005-03-31T06:45:00.000-08:002005-03-31T06:45:00.000-08:00I don't think we know how to raise snook in a hatc...I don't think we know how to raise snook in a hatchery. <BR/><BR/>Snook generally are plentiful up to the temperature point where they don't like to live. In FL that's about half the state, but will shift south if the winter is cold.<BR/><BR/>Texas is just barely within the upper range of snook due to the cold fronts that hit during winter. I doubt success would be great, it's a nture thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
