Clousers are a great fly for a lot of species in Florida, but most snook flies sit closer to the top of the water column. Fluffy marabou flies or zonker strips tend to be popular.
I tie a fly that's sort of a Razorback crossed with a Double Bunny (call it the Doubleback). It has worked pretty well for me on both coasts of Florida. I've caught several snook on it. It would be my first choice for a surf or mangrove fly for snook. I sketched out the pattern if you want to tie some up. There's a special glue you need to bond the zonker strips to each other a la Double Bunny, but it's not really necessary if you're using a fairly short strip on this fly. I tried to cheap out on my first batch and used super glue, and it didn't hold long, but I still caught fish with the two zonkers separated.
Good luck!
