There are many different types of fishing here in Southwest Florida. Snook and shark fishing are
             among the most common. Our local waters serve as a home to many Snook and Shark. Each
             angler has their particular favorite they like to fish for. Fishing for shark and fishing for Snook
             are two totally different styles. If you were fisihng for shark you wouldn't keep casting a spoon
             on the top of the water. Or if you were trying to catch a snook you wouldn't want to go five miles

             Baits play the biggest role in fishing. When fishing for shark you would want to use a
