I'm on the other side of Florida and sometimes I ask the same question. Snook are one of the smartest fish and one of the hardest to catch. Many of there feeding patterns have to do with moon phase, tides and currents. A snook is a predominantly nocturnal feeder. One of the easiest ways to catch them is to fish for them at night. Find a dock with a light on, so it lights up the water. The light will attract tiny shrimp and other baits, making this an ideal spot to catch snook and other fish. Stay well off the dock and pitch live shrimp upcurrent with a tiny circle hook(size 1/0) and some flourocarbon leader(kind of pricey, but compared to mono, the fish can't see it underwater). Let the shrimp drift past the light and BAM, it will get hit. Usually the bigger snook are sitting just outside the lighted ring in the water. You want to be a quiet as possible, if you do make some noise or catch a fish, give them a few minutes to get back into the feeding mode.
That's basically it, now you have to find someone with a boat or you can do it out of a kayak or canoe. Good luck!

A good question. I've heard that near the power plants is usually good for snook, but they don't really like people fishing around the power plants... I hear out towards the Port (Canaveral) you can catch them, and towards Sebastian. I've met people who have caught snook up here on the north end as well, but none of those people are me. Here's what I'd do if I had the snook stamp on my saltwater license, though.... (which is exactly what I do for any fish.) keep trying... ask the guys at your local bait shop where people are catching them and what they're catching them on, etc. etc. (could just be that I'm a girl, but they're always willing to tell me where people are reporting catching what from...) Anyway, good luck, and if you end up getting one, let me know where to go for dinner...... ;)

I like to use live pinfish or finger mullet . I live a few miles from the Sebastian inlet there is a state park there it costs 5 dollars to fish off the Jetty/pier
I prefer the north pier on outgoing tide . Its too cold now but warming up soon and the bite will be on
