Caught by still fishing, drifting and casting, they are a favorite sight-fishing target for shallow water light-tackle anglers. They’ll hit almost any natural bait and a full range of lures from spoons to topwaters, as well as flies.

Louisiana, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina hold dependable populations in inshore waters as well as in passes and channels leading to the ocean. They make fine table fare.
