Found in a lake in central Florida. I have no idea what they are but Google keeps telling me they’re snook. They kept swimming up to my lures and bait but just kept looking and swimming away. How can I catch these guys?

Lol those are not snook, they look like bluegill or tilapia. Nightcrawler in a hook n you’ll be good to go

looks like tilapia, piece of worm (eraser sized) and a small-ish hook should get the job done.

It’s a tilapia, an herbivore. I’m from up north but I’ve heard bread balls are usually the go-to. Also in the first 2 pics the fish are on spawning beds, not sure how that affects fishing for them.

Try adding some scent to your lures.

Looks like tilapia to me. I don’t target them myself so unsure of a reliable tactic.
Looks like this one is protecting a bed. They mouth brood during this time (keep eggs and babies in their mouths) so they become tough to catch.

They look like they are spawning. You need to look up mike Long.
