Everything I have seen or read about snook fishing is that you can use bass fishing tactics. I have only caught one redfish but I was not fishing for them. It was a long time ago. I thought that since most saltwater fish had teeth I would use chicken livers. I put one on my hook and cast it out there. I caught a 12 pound redfish. Not knowing what it was (looked like a carp to me) I threw it back. Good luck!
