    Panko or flour and cornmeal? That'll determine that..

    I know. I just think it’s cool I have snook in my pond. I don’t think they’ll survive the winter though.

    Couple more and you got yourself a cocktail.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    I have seen a 32" snook come out of a pond in Mt. Pleasant.

    My cousin did. He showed it to me in his cooler. Probably not the wisest decision considering where the pond is.

    He ate a snook out of a pond in Mtp? Did he know what it was?

    Yes. He was fishing for snook. He was catching 12" or so snook and went to the pond one day to fish and the 32" fish was dead on the edge of the pond. If saltwater ponds have sufficient depth, those fish can make it through the winter.

    I was just more surprised that he ate it honestly. I grew up in Mtp and found plenty of little tarpon over the years but never saw a snook first hand. I'd heard about them but never actually saw them.

    And that looks to be a tarpon snook. I wonder if that's the only or prominent subspecies that show up here.

    Anybody remember when I posted about snook and most of y’all told me I was stupid to think snook were in SC?
