How-To — HDUV Jiggin' Eel

We spent 15 minutes on the phone with Capt. Chris Britton to discuss snook fishing in Ft. Pierce, Florida with the Hogy HDUV Jiggin' Eel. Here's what we learned... Capt. Chris BrittonWebsite: www.greyghostfishingcharters.com Location: Ft. Pierce Florida Tides: Moving tides are key for productive snook fishing. During the winter months, incoming tides push warmer water into the inter coastal areas where snook are holding in deep water near bridges and inlets. Strong outgoing tides can trigger a good bite when large schools of bait flush out from the flats. Approach: Proper boat positioning around structure is vital to proper lure presentation.
