Vero Beach’s Matt Fahmie and his friends used the rare opportunity to clean up the waterways a little bit of dead snook.
“We went out during the freezing temperatures just to look around and saw some snook struggling,” Fahmie said. “We went into some of the canals behind homes in John’s Island. The homeowners were pretty happy we were helping to clean up.”
Fahmie said his friends picked up over 70 large snook, 10 of which he estimated to be larger than 40 inches in length. The fish were taken to a tree farm in western Indian River County and used as fertilizer.
