Nope. Never

Huh?

they're awesome. people used to throw them back because they didn't clean them right (left the skin on) and called them soap fish. now they're probably the most sought after fish around here and have to be regulated heavily. the porpoises also love them, don't know how many have stolen mine while hooked-up with one

But back to the question, I thought they were only a south Florida fish

that's what i'm wondering. pretty sure there's a similar variation down in south/central america. don't know why there wouldn't be any in LA since yall have plenty of mangroves

from wiki:
so maybe they are in louisiana?

IMO the reason snook aren't very populated if at all in La is b/c wintertime water temps get too low

This. They do catch them in far south Texas, but don't know if I have ever heard of one from here. Although after catching 2 large (flag) yellowtail snapper in the ST 130 blocks 2 years ago, I would believe anything.

How would we know what they have in Los Angeles?

I have heard of a couple being caught in the Mississippi River Delta by Ronnie Gravois. He was a charter captain for years out of Venice.
I caught about twenty on a guided trip in the mangroves of the Yucatan Peninsula about 12 years ago. They put up a great fight.

They are in South TX and FL....
The reason they are not in LA waters is because our salinities are too low with the MS River pushing mass amounts of freshwater out.
Salinities are insanely high in S TX and FL compared to LA.
Man I wish they were here though! I hear they explode on topwaters like no other fish.

I think it may get a little too cold in winter over here in LA. I had a blast fishing them in Venice Beach FL when I was a teenager.
