leader size and presentation....fishing snook unless by jetty or huge structure i almost always use 20 flouro or under.... and NLBN paddles or Zooms or DOA shrimp are the ticket for me 90 percent of the time fishing artificial....live bait

Just saw this thread, so forgive me. It seems that you are less experienced than some of us old folks, and I don't want to judge or be a buzz kill, so I'll just offer some advice: don't drag the fish up onto the beach if you plan to release it. Same advice I give to my best friends and family, so please don't get upset. Keep them in the water, carefully lift for a quick pic, let 'em swim. Better for everyone. Mark

Well as you can see in the picture it's my son holding the fish, not me. Yes he is inexperienced, that was the second snook he has ever caught and I told him never to do that again. As you can imagine he got over excited and drug the fish up on to the beach. That was last summer and he's come a long way since then, he's tying his own flies now lol.

I've been hearing a lot about NLBN lately, are they that much better than every other paddle tail? I can't imagine there would be that much of a difference between a Zman and NLBN paddle tail but who knows.
