I’d like to hear about it too. I’m going in March w/ a friend who lives in Orlando but fishes there several times each year.
I just got back from a three week canoe trip from Hell’s Bay to Highland Beach via the rivers then back down to Coot Bay via the Joe River. Bring a layer of long sleeves and pants as it can get stupid buggy. We didn’t fish but I saw tons of awesome opportunities and quite a few nice fish. The porta potties on the chickees make it mighty comfortable.
I’ve fished there pretty much every Winter for 15 years. Which end of the park are you going to?
flamingo side is where we are putting in, spending either 2 or 3 nights out depepnding on wx situation

Lots of ways and places to fish for Snook, TTs wouldn’t be my 1st choice though. Most of the Snook I find are in shallow cover or sunning out on really shallow flats. If you can, rig it weightless and weedless.
I had a lot of success when I used to fish the tampa/boca grande area with green back sardines and live shrimp. I would only assume something that looks like those two things in artificial category would do well. Snook would go crazy after those sardines.

10-4. I was joking about the trout tricks honestly, but intend on taking a pack anyways for shi*s and giggles
