Likely to do more fishing than catching with a fly rod if you’re learning the area. I do fly fish for snook, but it’s way harder. Recommend a spinning rod, 7’ medium light, and 2500-3000 series reel with 10, 12, or 15lb braid. Buy fluorocarbon leader in 15, 25, and 40lb.
For snook, I prefer mirrolure mirrodines. You’ll also want to throw gold/silver spoons and jig heads with soft plastics. Maybe no better experience than early morning snook on top water, Zara spook is the go to.
Take your time and don’t get discouraged if you get skunked a few times. Enjoy the time on the water. Hire a guide for a day to cut down learning curve.
