The Red Hind are found on shallow reefs and feed on crabs, shrimp, lobster, some fish and octopus. The Rock Hind is commonly caught at around 9 pounds on coral reefs and hard bottoms from the Gulf to the Bahamas.
The Rock Hind feeds mainly on crabs and small fishes. The Speckled Hind inhabits warm, moderately deep waters commonly between and feet. Speckled Hind usually engulf their prey whole, literally inhaling their food. Beginning January 31, it is prohibition to harvest or retain the Speckled Hind and Warsaw Grouper in federal waters in the South Atlantic. The Marbled Grouper is classified as vulnerable by the American Fisheries Society and is rarely caught but can be found in most tropical waters.
It is the different looking of the groupers with a heavy body and it's ability to change color. This rare fish is commonly caught at 15 pounds as an incidental catch while bottom fishing deeper reefs.
The Nassau Grouper can be found in waters around 60 feet near coral reefs and structure, but has been found inshore and offshore in feet. The species has been over fished and in was classified as "threatened". The Nassau Grouper is a slow-growing species reaching a little over 3 feet in length and can weight 55 pounds.
It is a solitary fish, feeding in the daytime, mainly on other fish, and small crustaceans like crabs and small lobsters. This fish is very friendly and will swim right up to divers. Image courtesy Bouncers Dusky Red Grouper like to hide in a hole and dart out to grab food and return to their hole.
Due to this habit of darting out for food, they are opportunistic and will eat most anything. They prefer squid, crab, shrimp, lobster and octopus, but will eat any dead fish that sink into their habitat. Chumming with a weighted dispenser close to structure then dropping your line with bait into the chum slick works well for this species.
The Scamp is commonly 10 to 20 pounds and is sometimes found fairly close to shore, but generally sticks to deep reefs and ledges offshore. The Scamp's spots can sometimes form close together creating larger spot-like area's. The Scamp is plentiful in the Gulf of Mexico and can be found in the Atlantic mostly on the northern Florida coast.
This Grouper is considered a prized catch among Groupers. The Snowy Grouper is a mean one due to it's territorial nature. The Snowy can be caught inshore usually the youngsters but it is primarily found on the Atlantic continental shelf in deep water, to feet, along rocky edges and cliffs in swift currents. The Snowy Grouper can reach 70 pounds and 52 inches long. This species is in serious decline due to overfishing so the restrictions are 1 Snowy per person per day always check current rules.
The Snowy feeds on blue crab, fish, and squid. Image courtesy Bouncers Dusky 33 - Miami Beach. The Tiger Grouper can be seen during the day prowling around shallow coral reefs from 5 to 20 feet looking for prey. This grouper has vertical stripes and sometimes a redish color; juveniles are yellowish.
The Tiger reaches around pounds, 35 inches long, and feeds on small fish, squid, shrimp, and crabs, devouring them with it's big teeth.
The Warsaw Grouper is a large fish growing to 6 feet 1. Find the Warsaw near deep rocky ledges and sea mounts in to feet m of water; the young are sometimes caught in inshore waters. Watch this video of a Warsaw Grouper eating an Amberjack below an oil rig on the Gulf of Mexico at feet. The Yellowedge Grouper has been abundant in the Gulf of Mexico caught in deep offshore waters from feet to almost 1, feet.
Small live and cut baits can be used to catch this Grouper. This Grouper can grow to 30 pounds and tend to be smaller in the eastern Gulf of Mexico due to the lack of soft bottom.
In the eastern Gulf the Yellowedge Grouper is most prevalent from Tampa to Charlotte in feet of water near patch reefs with soft bottom areas where the Yellowedge can burrow in the soft sand.
The beautiful Yellowfin Grouper is more commonly found in the warmer waters of the southern part of Florida on offshore coral reefs, wrecks and hard drop-offs.
The Yellowfin Grouper grows to 30 pounds and 4 feet long with the record of 34 pounds 6 ounces caught near Key Largo. Standard bottom fishing setup can be used to catch the Yellowfin with live bait or shrimp. The Yellowmouth Grouper is a reef dweller that is very abundant in the Gulf of Mexico. The Yellowmouth is often confused with the Scamp and shares the same waters as the Scamp, but the Yellowmouth has a square tail. This fish pounces on jigs readily. Called Grunt because this fish's air bladder amplifies the sound made when it grinds it's teeth deep in it's throat, the Blue Striped Grunt resembles a Snapper but it is from another species family called Haemulidae.
Found all over Florida from Mangroves out to coral reefs and wrecks, this bright yellow colored fish with glowing blue stripes travels in very large schools making a spectacular site when diving.
This Grunt can be eaten like any other panfish but is not as good as a Snapper. Commonly found offshore near rocks, ledges, or reefs. The adults form schools with other species of fish during the day over coral reefs or sandy bottoms.
The White Grunt's average 17 inches and weights 5 pounds. White Grunts are nocturnal feeders, leaving offshore reefs at sunset in search for crustaceans, mollusks, echinoderms, and small fishes. The Blueback Herring is found in the St. Johns River in Florida and further northern waters. This Herring is used for bait and is caught with dip nets in shallow waters. This fish commonly found in brackish waters and overwinters in deep offshore waters.
The Blueback can grow to 15 inches and weigh 3 lbs. This fish can grow to 8 - 12 inches and is found in large schools inshore, near shore, and offshore. Catch the Threadfin with a heavy cast net or on hook n line. The Treadfin is tender and does not tolerate overcrowding in bait wells, see the video to the left. Use cut up Threadfin for chunk chumming or grind them up for an excellent chum.
The Atlantic threadfin has been discovered in recent years to be an excellent eating fish. We have a full webpage on recorded catches in Florida and images of this fish. Most People do not know what the fish is when they catch it. The Hogfish can be found in many color variations around hard bottom areas, coral reefs, rocky ledges and shipwrecks all over Florida with most found in the western Keys and the Middle Grounds of the Gulf of Mexico.
The Hogfish averages 3 pounds in the Keys and can be as large as 20 pounds offshore in feet of water. There are fewer but larger ones the further north you go in Florida.
Hogfish can be taken by hook and line using live Shrimp or Crabs as bait although the vast majority of Hogfish are taken by spear because it's hard to get a shrimp past the grunts!
The Hogfish is excellent table fare, their diet of shellfish like Mollusks, Crabs, and Sea Urchins gives the meat a fine flavor. The spotfin hogfish is also called the Cuban hogfish. This colorful species of wrass commonly inhabits reefs from 50 to 80 feet of water in the South Atlantic from the Carolinas to Brazil and in the Gulf of Mexico.
The spotfin has been recorded in waters almost feet deep, but this is rare. This is a small species that can reach lengths of 11 inches but is commonly found at 7 inches. The bright coloring of this species can be attributed to it's diet of crabs and shellfish. Photo submitted by Chuck D. The Greater Amberjack is a big, strong fish that grow well over a hundred pounds and are primarily target for their quick fast action once hooked.
They travel in schools and are commonly caught from bridges, piers, or docks as they travel by. Amberjack eat small fish especially bigeye scad, as well as crabs, squid, crustaceans, and invertebrates. Chumming for Amberjacks's should be made with herring, menhaden, mullet, pinfish and blue runners.
Set out your chum slick and if Jacks are nearby you are guaranteed a fun time. Amberjacks are not commonly table fare but we have the secret to cooking this delicious fish on our webpage Grilled Amberjack. The lesser amberjack is the smallest amberjack, around 12 inches long and weighing 10 pounds, and seldom encountered by anglers because they are usually found in over feet deep waters.
Lesser Amberjack are believed to live deeper than other Amberjacks in water from to feet deep and spawn in offshore waters. Lesser Amberjack feed on fish and squid. The Almaco Jack typically is caught around 35 inches but can grow to over 60 inches and weigh up to pounds. Normally found on deep water offshore wrecks, this species of Jack is not encountered as often as Amberjacks.
The Almaco Jack feeds at all times of the day and night on bait fish and small Squid. The firm white flesh is excellent, similar to Tuna. The blue runner is a spunky fish prized as an excellent bait fish because it survive long periods in the bait well and once on a hook can swim great distances. Blue runners are normally found at 12 inches but can grow to 28 inches and they are excellent table fare. Blue runners inhabit offshore waters in large schools and feed primarily on?
Throw your cast net over a school, you'll have plenty for your next chum mix. The Crevalle Jack can be found both inshore and in deep offshore waters feeding on schools of bait fish, usually the cause of a bait fish frenzy as they coral the schools together for an easy dinner.
The largest Crevalle ever caught in Florida was near Jupiter at 57 pounds. The Horse-Eye Jack can be found swimming in school, large and small, sometimes along with the Crevalle Jack.
They inhabit mostly offshore reefs and wrecks but sometimes are found inshore. They have distinctly large eyes hence their name, a blue gray body with a yellow tail. This species of Jack can grow to 30 inches and weigh 8 pounds.
The Horse-eye feeds on smaller fish, shrimp and crabs. Palometa jacks are commonly found in schools inshore in South Florida in clear surf at 1 to 2 pounds but can grow to 3 pounds and 20 inches long. This species of jack has 4 long bars at the top of its body, long dark colored fins and a light yellow breast. With a diet of small fish and crustaceans, this small fish is excellent table fare. The fast swimming, brightly colored rainbow runner inhabits both inshore and offshore waters.
Highly migratory, the Rainbow travels in large schools feeding on small fish, shrimp and crabs. Reaching sexual maturity at 24 inches this runner in the jack species is a formidable opponent when hooked. Often hooked while trolling, this species is commonly used as trolling bait for billfish and tuna.
The Banded Rudderfish is usually encountered less than 11 inches and under 10 pounds. It can be found both inshore and offshore, and is often found near floating objects. This fish feeds on fish and shrimp. Ladyfish can be found in great numbers in bays, lurking just outside of dock lights at night, feeding on bait fish and shrimp. They are fun and easy to catch and make fantastic chum or chunk chum.
Use cut up Ladyfish to catch Snook, Grouper, Shark, and other species that like chunk bait. Photo submitted by Leonardo Manella. Leatherjacket are found inshore, usually near beaches and the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico and southern Atlantic coast. Growing to12 inches in length, the Leatherjack eats small fish and shrimp. Jorge P. Lionfish are an invasive species that inhabits all coastal waters of Florida. This species has no predators and can destroy delicate marine environments if left unchecked.
Lionfish are excellent ambush hunters, with lightning speed they capture their prey. They use their venemous spines to deter predators, and as of this writing there are no known fish that prey on Lionfish in the Tropical Western Atlantic. FWC encourages anglers and divers to eradicate any lionfish you encounter.
The best way to destroy this fish is to use a speargun or gaff. Lionfish have venomous spines so be very careful when you encounter this creature. The lionfish flesh is very good to eat and the only precaution during preparation is to cut off the venomous spines, then prepare the fish as you would any other. Check out our Lionfish page for more details.
Courtesy of NOAA. Lookdown's are most often found in small schools near the coast in shallow waters over sandy bottoms, usually near bridges, pilings and on coastal shipwrecks. Lookdowns are in the Jack family and can grow to 19 inches and up to 3 pounds. Lookdowns feed on small worms, small fishes and crustaceans attached to structures. The Lookdown puts up a great fight but has little food value so please release this beautiful fish.
The Cero Mackerel is usually caught at 10 pounds but can get to 30 pounds. The Cero is a tropical Mackerel species rarely found further north than Palm Beach. The Cero can be identified by it's long lateral stripe.
Feeding on small fish and squid this fish can be found on offshore reefs and wrecks and sometimes inshore. This mackerel species is primarilary found on the Atlantic side of the state and into the Keys, mostly on the coast, although it has been found in the Gulf of Mexico, mostly on the western side.
King Mackerel travel in large schools near the surface of the water, close to shore over sandy bottoms. King Mackerels can also be found near reefs, wrecks and other hard structures. Bottom fishing from bridges, piers, the surf and from boats is the best way to catch a Kingfish. Downriggers are often used to get the chum below the surface to entice this powerful fish. King Mackerel are heavy feeders preferring herring, shad, sardine, pilchard, menhaden, jack, anchovy, ladyfish, mullet, drum, and will also eat shrimp, sand fleas and squid.
The Spanish Mackerel is not the only Mackerel with yellow spots - young King Mackerel have the same spots. The easiest way to tell them apart is by the distinctive "black flag" on the dorsal fin of the Spanish.
The Spanish Mackerel is a very colorful fish. The Spanish can be found close to shore and further out in waters to about 40 feet, traveling in schools. This fish migrates seasonally, spending the winters in southern Florida waters then migrating north to spawn and spend the summers in the Panhandle or the Carolina's on the east coast. The fish is targeted primarily for later use as bait for larger species, but it's strong white flesh is quite good and is used for sushi by many.
Spanish Mackerel are aggressive feeders preferring shrimp, squid and small fish. The trick to catching a Spanish Mackerel is to use fast moving lures such as spoons or by trolling. The Margate, either White or Black, belongs to the grunt family. The Margate can be found on offshore reefs, inshore, or the surf, and grows to around 15 pounds and 2 feet.
This fish is referred to as the white snapper and makes great table fare because it feeds on crustaceans, although you do not get a lot of meat off the fish. Source: NOAA. Blue Marlin primarily feed near the surface on a diet of tuna, mackerel, squid, octopus and any number of fish species indigenous to the environment.
White Marlin can be found in very deep water, usually to feet down. Downriggers with chum bags attached or weighted dispensers must be used. They usually eat fish such as herring, jacks, mackerels, triggerfish, dolphin fish and flying fish, but a significant portion of their diet is squid and crabs. The Black Marlin is found in Pacific waters on the surface near shore close to land masses, islands and coral reefs. This marlin is one of the fastest fish on earth reaching speeds up to 80 mph and weights up to 1, lbs.
The black marlin feeds on dolphinfish, squid, cuttlefishes, octopods, mackerels, trevallies, swordfish, and large decapod crustaceans, but prefers small tunas. The Menhaden Fish is an important bait fish found on both the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, and they are two different species. This fish can be found in huge schools and is caught with cast nets. The Menhaden is used to make Menhaden oil and Menhaden Milk that is used for chumming fish, either straight using a dripper unit or mixed in with your favorite chum recipe.
Many charter boats make a not so secret potion by adding Menhaden Oil to store bought chum blocks. Visit our Menhaden fish page for information on this very important species. Glass minnows are sometimes called Silversides or Anchovy and are a popular bait fish from Maine through the Gulf of Mexico. This fish seldom reaches over 3 to 4 inches and is abundant in large schools along the shore in seagrass beds and on offshore reefs.
This bait fish is an important food source for predatory fish that will dart through the Glass Minnow's large schools feeding. Mojorra are common bait fish found on both coasts of Florida in schools, mostly inshore. The Slender Majorra is a small fish commonly found at 3 inches. The Silver Jenny mojarra has an unusual looking mouth which helps to identify this species.
The mouth looks like a mouth inside a mouth! It is found in schools inshore preferring bays with muddy bottoms and high salinity. Jenny can grow to 9 inches but is commonly caught at 6 inches. The Mojarra Spotfin is usually 3 inches but can grow to 8 inches. This schooling bait fish lives inshore in many oceans in both warm and cool waters. The prefer open, shallow waters that have sand and mud bottoms, seagrass, and mangroves. They are abundant in tropical estuaries and are used for Snapper bait.
Mullet are common table fare and are used as bait for larger sport fish. Mullet range from 8 to 12 inches in length and can be found in large schools in inshore coastal regions such as bays, estuaries and freshwater environments.
They feed on algae, small crustaceans, and detritus. They can be caught with a cast net and used as bait or for making chum. The Silver Mullet are mostly used for bait due to their small size, less than 12 inches.
They live in large schools and are caught with cast nets for bait or to use for chumming. The shinny Atlantic Needlefish is very common and can be found inshore hovering around pilings. Needlefish hover just below the surface in schools over shallow reefs or in the quiet waters of estuaries hunting small fish. There are many species of Needlefish in Florida, most averaging about a foot.
It is not uncommon to see smaller specimens inshore around docks and mangroves. Watch out, this fish can jump out of the water and have been known to get aggressive and spear you if agitated. The larger species like the Hound or Flat Needlefish can be found over inshore reefs in loose schools.
This fish has very good meat but is shunned by most because the flesh is a green color. The Spotted Hound Needlefish shown here was caught in Key West on an inshore reef and is rare at 48". Normally in the Keys they are seen at 18 to 24 inches both inshore and in the backwaters. Use caution if snorkeling near one of these, they have been know to attack snorkelers. The 60 to pound Oilfish travels in schools and is caught unintentionally by anglers fishing for Tuna and Swordfish in the deep, open waters near the continental shelf.
This very oily fish is edible and quite good since it feeds on fish, squid and crustaceans but some have complained of stomach irritations as the oil is not easily digested. The Sand Perch is common on both coasts of Florida and this colorful fish reaches around 8 inches. Sand Perch are found from bays and shorelines to well offshore over a variety of bottoms. They seem to prefer open bottom with patches of grass or scattered rock, and also like deep channels. This small fish is tasty but mostly used as bait for Tarpon or Grouper.
The American Silver Perch can be found from New York to Florida in muddy inshore waters in bays and estuaries and lurk in seagrass beds. Silver Perch grow to 12 inches and are similar in appearance to the Sand Seatrout with a silvery skin and yellow fins. This Perch eats crustaceans and small fish which attributes to it being excellent tablefare. The picture above was caught in Riviera Beach under a bridge.
Permit are usually found in shallow, tropical waters such as flats, channels, and muddy bottoms feeding on crabs, shrimp, and smaller fish. Permit are commonly found from 20 to 30 pounds with the record in Florida at 51 pounds. Angler fish for Permit by stalking them by sight on shallow flats, and cast directly to them.
Use fresh crushed crab and lobster in a dispenser for an excellent attractant for the Permit fish; use small live crab on your hook. On offshore wrecks large Permit swim around the wrecks and sometime hang around the bottom of the structure. If you hook up a Permit near structure it is best to unhook from your anchorage and drift to bring in your catch. This species tends to dive for cover once hooked and if they get into the structure you will soon lose your prey. Live crab is by far the best bait for Permit; use a splitshot to weigh the crab down if the fish are lower in the water column.
Permit have excellent eyesight so use dark colored hooks and will don't use swivels. The Pigfish inhabits bays and muddy coastal waters in northern and southern coastal waters. They can grow to 15 inches, but are most commonly caught at 6 inches. Pigfish feed at night using their throat teeth to grind up shellfish and small bits of other food. The Pigfish is great eating, but is mostly used for bait fish. Tarpon love Pigfish.
Pilchards are small bait fish in the herring family that are easily caught with a cast net because they travel in large schools. Pilchards must be kept in an uncrowded, well aerated tank with constant water changes, they do not keep as well as other bait fish like pinfish but do make great bait. The Pinfish is a small bait fish growing to 8 inches that can be found inshore in schools numbering in the thousands. They are found in bays and shallow water grass beds where they feed on shellfish.
Use a castnet, Sabiki Rig or Pinfish trap to collect Pinfish for bait. They are very hardy and survive nicely in a bait well. The Spot Tail Pinfish is a bait fish found in shallow coastal waters and in lower areas of coastal bays in grass beds but can also be found offshore around hard bottoms and reefs from Chesapeake Bay all the way into the Gulf of Mexico.
This fish can be found in small schools, grows to 10 inches and is usually caught with small baited hooks. Us this fish as bait or cut up for chunk baiting. The Big-Scale Pomfret Taractichthys longipinnis is a rarely caught fish because they live in depths over 1, feet in the Atlantic Ocean along the continental shelf.
Mostly solitary, the Pomfret can sometimes be found in loose schools. This deep bodied fish grows up to 3 feet long with the world record at 20 pounds 10 ounces caught in St. The Big-Scale Pomfret feeds on shrimp and squid. This Pomfret is usually caught as by catch with little know about them.
Adults travel solitary in tropical waters both inshore and offshore in the first feet of the water column, sometimes feet deep, generally swimming deep over sandy bottoms, adjacent to rocky structure. The juvenile African Pompano has long, filamentous dorsal and anal fin tips said to deter creditors. The African grows to a length of 5 feet but are normally in the 18 to 24 inch range and it can grow to 50 pounds with 20 to 30 pounds common in Florida.
African Pompano feeds on slow-moving crustaceans, small crabs, and occasionally on small fish. This fish is a great fighter and excellent table fare. The above image is a 40 lb African Pompano. Pompano are a highly prized food fish and sought after game fish that is usually between 6 and 10 inches long. This is a schooling fish and is a good pier and shore fishing target. Often confused with the Permit which is deeper bodied, Pompano rarely grow larger than 6 pounds, Permit are common to 40 pounds.
They feed on mollusks, crustaceans, and sand fleas. As its name implies, the Grass porgy can be found on both coasts of Florida inshore in shallow water on grass beds and sandy bottoms. Usually solitary, they can sometimes be found in small schools. This is a small porgy growing to a pound and 10 inches long. Delicious to eat because this species feeds on invertebrates including crabs, clams, snails, worms and starfish.
Catch a this porgy using live or dead shrimp or squid. Pictures submitted by Maureen Jan They caught about 30 fishing inshore near an island off Ozona on the Gulf of Mexico. The Jolthead Porgy can be found offshore around rocky reefs, debris, and wrecks, typically in feet of water.
The Jolthead is distinguished with a blue line under it's eyes and orange around it's mouth. This Porgy feeds on Mollusks and Crustaceans.
The Jolthead can be caught on dead bait Spanish sardines, threadfin, finger mullet squid, and crustaceans. This fish ranges from 2 to 10 pounds and are good tablefare. Courtesy of Bouncers Dusky 33 Miami Beach. The most brightly colored of the Porgy's, the Littlehead Porgy has small silver scales with violet color spots on the scales that form stripes.
This Porgy is only found in the tropical Atlantic, northern Gulf to the Caribbean usually at 15 inches in length. This Porgy is a good tasting fish which feeds mostly in invertibrates. The Red Porgy is an uncommon catch due to it's reduced populations from earlier overfishing. The Red Porgy is sometimes called Seabream and is found is waters from 60 feet in depth to the edge of the continental shelf where they can be 16 inches and weigh 2 pounds.
The Red Porgy are bottom feeders who use their strong teeth to prey on snails, crabs and sea urchins from structures and they also consume worms and small fishes. The Red Porgy in this picture was caught off Naples during the winter in of water on a wreck while bottom fishing. Common on reefs around Key West, this porgy feeds on a variety of creatures including sea urchins, brittle stars, mollusks, sea worms, hermit crabs, and crabs.
Sheepshead porgy has a small dark spot at the base of the pectoral fin, and there is often a maroon-colored margin on the tail. Sometimes the fish will display dark bands so that it resembles a sheepshead, which is where it gets its name. Atlantic sailfish can be found near schools of bait fish in areas where there is a temperature changes.
They feed on mackerel, tuna, herring, ballyhoo, needlefish and mullet. They can be found near the Gulf Stream in deep water near underwater structures like rock walls and drop offs.
The best bait is live ballyhoo and pilchards. Sailfish show up in Southeast Florida and the Keys in Mid-October, offering anglers great fall action. Sardines travel in large schools close to shore and are popular around the world for food, bait, and as additives to other products such as fertilizer. They are caught mainly at night, when they approach the surface to feed on plankton. To catch sardines it is best to use a castnet and you will catch hundreds if not thousands in one cast.
To use Sardines as bait first twist the center of the body to open up the fish, this allows other small fish to come and nibble on the sardine and attract the larger fish to the commotion. Hook the sardine though the eyes or up through the head from the the mouth so the hook is exposed. For catching large fish use a double hook system. In Florida, Spanish Sardine is purchased frozen, the fish in this picture is from such a box. The Scaled Sardine is sometimes call Whitebait and is a common bait fish found in southern tropical waters.
The Scaled Sardine can be caught easily with bait net, just chum the water and when they arrive cast away. Do not over crowd them in your bait well as they are sensitive to water quality. Growing to about 6 inches this fish is excellent bait and makes great chum. This critically endangered species is characterized by a long, toothy nose extension snout and can be found as large as 23 feet long.
Sawfish live only in shallow, muddy water and can be found in both freshwater and saltwater in tropical and subtropical regions. They inhabit coastal areas such as bays and estuaries, but frequently penetrate far into rivers and major lakes. Capturing sawfish is illegal in the USA and Australia. The Round Scad is a commonly called the Cigar Minnow. This common bait fish can grow to 12 inches and can be found in shallow waters on the bottom or mid-water.
Grouper and Snapper love this fish so use them as bait, for chunk chumming or ground up for an appealing chum mix. Black Sea Bass average 12 inches and weigh 1 pound and are bottom-feeders that love crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp, as well as small fish, worms and mollusks.
Bank Sea Bass are found in deep, offshore waters from 50 to feet around rocks and reefs with high relief. The Bank Sea Bass forages along the bottom on small fish, squid and crustaceans. This beautifully colored Bass is small, it only reaching 11 inches in length.
Striped Bass is a schooling species rarely found more than several miles from the shoreline. Anglers usually catch stripers in river mouths, in small, shallow bays and estuaries, and along rocky shorelines and sandy beaches. Striped bass usually grow to approximately 20 inches and weigh about 30 pounds, but can be as long as 6 feet and weigh as much as pounds. Striped bass are voracious predators of a variety of small fish and invertebrates, including worms, squids, menhaden, anchovies and crustaceans.
The most effective way to chum for Stripers or Striped Bass is to chunk chum with live bait of their preferred species such as herring, menhaden, flounder, alewives, sand lance, silver hake, tomcod, smelt, silversides, and eels. They also consume significant quantities of lobsters, clams, small mussels, sea worms, squid, eels, and soft crabs, which you can also use for your chum mix. They feed mostly at dusk and dawn, thus the best time to fish for stripers. Anglers looking for trophy size Stripers use live eels, so make your chum mix with eels and catch a big one!
Freshwater Sstripers feed almost exclusively on large shad and minnow species, so make your chum with these species. Soft-shell steamer clams are also a favorite chum in the Chesapeake Bay area.
Although Stripers by design cannot get the clams out of the shells, they go crazy for them when offered and this can provide for some fast, furious action! The Sand Sea Trout is a silver colored fish lacking any markings and are found in shallower bays and estuaries with oyster beds and seagrass bed. They can be from 19 to 25 inches and weigh 2 to 3 pounds.
When they are located near passes in estuaries they eat mainly fish, especially bay anchovies and gulf menhaden. Sea Trout feed on squid, peeler crabs, shrimp, live spot or other live bait, so a chum mix of their favorite food is best. Sand Sea Trout are best eaten fresh, they do not freeze well. The Silver seatrout is similar to the Sand seatrout but smaller, averaging 10 to 13 inches and is a great bait fish for large game fish such as King Mackerel and Barracuda. Find the Silver Trout close to shore near muddy or sandy bottoms, usually in the winter in the northern Gulf of Mexico in bayous and the intercoastal waterway.
They can be caught with a cast net or small baited hooks. Use them cut up for bottom fishing reefs or inshore and they make great chum. Speckled seatrout inshore action in the winter months throughout the state is a lot of fun with the average sized catch at 4 pounds.
Look for the spotted seatrout in grassy areas, around structure, in the mangroves or in deep holes with a sandy bottom. Speckled seatrout feed on crustaceans, shrimp, crabs and bait fish. Free line live pinfish or shrimp near the edges of mangroves or over grass beds to attract them out of deep holes.
This species is fun to catch and quite tasty, best eaten fresh, not frozen. The schooling Weakfish is the most common of the Seatrout and usually are found at 12 to 18 inches, but can grow to 3 feet and weigh 19 pounds. They have the same diet and habitat as the other Seatrout. Be careful when reeling in a weakfish it gets it's name from having a weak mouth, hooks tear apart their mouths. Diane M. The American Shad is a schooling fish found in very deep coastal waters, sometimes almost a mile down and grow to about 20 inches, but can be up to 30 inches and weigh up to 12 pounds.
They come ashore to freshwater inlets and rivers to spawn. The American Shad is primarily a plankton feeder, but will eat small shrimp and fish eggs. The Alabama Shad is also a schooling fish that grows to 12 to 18 inch. This species has declined largely because of the many locks and dams blocking access to spawning areas. The Alabama Shad was listed as a Species of Concern in and fishing is prohibited. Like other Shad, the Hickory Shad is a schooling fish adults living in coastal ocean waters from Maine to Florida.
The Hickory Shad feed on small fishes, fish eggs, crabs and other crustaceans, and squid. At 12 to 20 inches, the Hickory Shad are noticeably smaller than American Shad.
Look for Sheepshead near structures that have oysters growing on them such as mangrove roots, jetty rocks, docks, pilings, and piers. Sheepshead are common at 4 pounds but can be found further from the shore near navigational markers at 10 pounds or more. Chum made with oysters, shrimp, clams, clam juice, scallop guts, sand fleas, or fiddler crabs are best for Sheepshead as these crustaceans are their main diet.
Ever notice they have teeth like humans and they can crush oyster shells with ease. The Clearnosed Skate is a Florida native found mostly inshore in salt and brackish waters. They are usually not targeted as sportfish but this fish will take any bait if in their range.
The Clearnosed Skate feeds on crustaceans, mollusks, sand fleas and fiddler crabs giving them excellent tasting flesh. Prepare Skate utilizing the wings and use in any recipe calling for Scallops as they have a very similar flavor. You can also use Skates for bait, Sharks love them. This small fish in the wrasse family found in tripical waters on both coasts can reach up to 14 inches.
Find the Slippery Dick on reefs and grass beds inshore up to 50 feet deep feeding on invertebrates including crabs, shrimp and sea urchins. This species goes through many color changes as it grows and all start out their lives as females. The Slippery Dick is very good to eat, that is if you find one large enough.
The Slippery Dick makes excellent bait for bigger species like Snook. The Blackfin Snapper is a deepwater fish usually found in over feet of water, but your fish are found in a little as feet of water. The fish is stocky but small, only growing to 16 inches and 4 pounds. Find this fish near deep drop offs near continental shelf.
Chumming for this deep water fish is not possible, but how about trying a line bait dispenser attached above your live or cut bait presentation. The Cubera Snapper can reach pounds and has the nickname The Bad Boy because it has two large canine teeth capable of grabbing large prey or easily crushing whole lobsters.
Find the Cubera on reef and wrecks using live baits. If you want to catch a big one put a Spiney Lobster on a heavy jig with strong line and drop down to a reef; be sure to hold on tight, this big fish will dart for cover and give you one exciting fight. The Cubera is suspect of having Ciguatera, so testing with a portable kit for the presence of the toxin is advisable. The dog snapper is also one of The Bad Boys see cubera above with two large canine teeth and all the same traits of the Cubera, it's cousin, but only gets to 20 pounds and average 24 inches.
Record size specimens have been recordered at over 60 pounds and 50 inches. The Dog snapper is not picky and will go after any kind of bait or jig. They are usually solitary and found around shallow reefs in the Keys and Caribbean. To distinguish the dog snapper, look for a pale triangle and a light blue interrupted line below the eyes.
The lane snapper has bright yellow lines running it's length with a red tail. The lane are more common in south Florida with the young found inshore and in the mangroves and the adults on inshore reefs. The largest lane snapper caught near Pensacola was 6 pounds 6 ounces; anglers can expect an average of 12 inches on offshore wrecks and reefs. The lane snapper is a bottom feeder preferring crustaceans, mollusks, and fish.
They like very salty water that is shallow. The Mahogany has big eyes, grows to 20 inches, and usually swims in schools around reefs. Mangrove Snapper are common in shallow waters especially around mangroves but larger Snappers move off shore to hard-bottom or reef areas for more food and shelter. Usually found at 10 inches inshore, they can grow to 2 feet offshore.
Mangroves are inquisitive fish that will come out of their ambush spot to see what's going on when they hear noise like your engines motor, but they will flee after hearing loud sudden noises. These fish are considered extremely smart and once you have hooked one, the rest become tight lipped after seeing your hook.
Toss in their favorite baits? Mutton's normally inhabit deeper water, shallower patch reefs and wrecks, as well as channels and creeks. Larger Mutton can be found travelling grass flats following stingrays. Where there is an abundance of small Pilchards, Ballyhoo, and Herring you will find the Mutton Snapper.
Using live Pilchards to chum for these fish is a great tactic. Sardines can be cast netted and Pinfish trapped for line bait or live chumming. The Queen Snapper is a rare catch and a unique snapper having a long, slender body with big forked tail with yellow eyes. The Queen snapper grows to 3 feet long and can be found in very deep water, feet or more.
The Queen can be found amongst very large rocks, so you cannot anchor and target this species; dropping your line deep and drifting by rocks is the only way you can hopefully catch this great eating fish.
He used for bait a fresh piece of Blackfin tuna that he caught minutes before. Red Snapper can live 25 years and weight more than 25 pounds with the record in Florida caught at 46 pounds near Destin. This Snapper is more abundant in the colder northern Florida offshore deep wrecks and reefs but can be found statewide.
The Red Snapper feed on crab, shrimp, fish and worms. Chumming with crushed blue crab or mussels can drive the Red Snapper into a frenzy. There are federal and state fishing restrictions on this species so be sure to know the current rules before taking very tasty this fish home for dinner. The Schoolmaster Snapper is a small yellow and brown colored Snapper that is usually found in shallow waters 8 feet or less in small schools near reefs.
This fish is a great kid's catch as they are easily caught during the day and take most baits. Silk Snapper are the most common deepwater species and is often found for sale in fish markets. Silkies can be found in water from to feet deep near rocks and pinnacles and average 8 pounds. The best bait is squid, blue runner, or chunks of tuna on circle hooks that you drift near drop-offs.
The Vermillion Snapper is a current feeder that swarm high in the water column feeding on smaller fish and shrimp that pass in the current. This brightly colored fish only grows to 3 or 4 pounds and average 10 inches long. The Vermillion has a small mouth so using very small circle hooks with a chunk of squid works best.
Night fishing for this species is usually best and chum made of shrimp and squid is irresistible. The Wenchman Snapper is a small, large-eyed fish that feeds primarily on fishes and are caught surprisingly often by anglers, who usually discard them because of unfamiliarity with the fish or their small size. The Wenchman averages 1 pound or slightly under, but can reach 3 pounds.
Find the Wenchman in deep waters, from 80 feet to 1, feet deep over hard, low-relief bottoms, but they can be found on almost any bottom type except soft mud. Yellowtail Snapper are found mostly in the southern Florida waters offshore near reefs and wrecks in waters deeper than 30 feet. In the Florida Keys you will find large schools of juvenile Yellowtail around inshore reefs. The Yellowtail travels in schools feeding on shrimp, worms, crabs and small fish.
The Yellowtail is commonly caught from 12 inches to 16 inches with the large ones caught in waters over feet. You can make our recipe Yellowtail Snapper Sand Balls to attract this excellent eating fish. Snook can be readily found in bays usually around structures and in shallow water off beaches, but mostly in southern Florida.
On the east coast, from Sebastian south you have great numbers of Snook, further north Snook are limited due to the colder waters. Snook cannot survive in water temperatures below 60 degrees. Snook are excellent eating and fun to catch but do have strict catch limits and closures, so be sure to read up on current rules. They tend to feed two hours before sunrise and two to three hours after sunset with the best fishing during a tide change at these hours. One popular technique to catch Snook is to fish docks at night that have "snook lights" shinning into the water.
Snook are drawn to the night lights as they take the opportunity to feed on shrimp that are drawn to the lights. Shrimp are by far the best bait for this elusive fish, especially when they come from the same waters as you are fishing. Some people use live pilchards with great success. Visit our Snook page for more info on snook. The strong fighting Atlantic Spadefish can be found on inshore structures like buoys or towers and on reefs. The Spadefish are normally caught at 10 pounds but can grow to 25 pounds and be 36 inches long.
Feeding on shellfish and jelly fish makes them excellent tablefare. For bait and chum use pieces of fresh mussels, clams and jellyfish. Longbill Spearfish are found in deep offshore waters and can reach weights of 70 pounds. Often confused with the Marlin, this fish can be identified by their fin which is much higher throughout its length. This species feeds on the water surface and dines on small fish including dolphin, sauries, flying fish, needlefish and pilot fish, and squid.
There is not a lot known of this fish, probably due to it's short lifespan of 5 years. This species is infrequently encountered by anglers. Like the Longbill Spearfish, The Mediterranean Spearfish is also infrequently encountered by anglers and usually only found in Mediterranean waters.
The Mediterranean Spearfish is similar to the Longbill and matures at 2 years and has a lifespan of only 5 years. Nearly identical to the White Marlin, the Roundscale Spearfish differs in the distance between the anus and anal fin and has slightly rounder scales across portions of its body. Due to the difficulty of distinguishing these two species, the classification of the Roundscale Spearfish is not officially endangered, but being considered. It has been difficult to find information on this species as it was only identified in If you would like to read about the "mistaken identity" of both the White Marlin and the Roundscale Spearfish, check out this ScienceDaily article.
Spot one of the most popular fish to be caught and eaten. It is usually between six and ten inches long. This is a schooling fish and is a good pier fishing target. They are usually found near oyster reefs or around pilings and jetties, but have been collected from all depths and bottom types.

The Atlantic Stingray is the same fish common along the coast; they are the ones where we see signs to shuffle your feet to avoid getting stung. This species inhabits shallow coastal waters over sandy or silty bottoms, estuaries, and lakes and are common on the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. It has been know to venture into brackish waters where it is called the Freshwater Stingray.
This ray is one of the smallest stingray species, it attains a maximum length of 24 inches 61 cm and a weight of 11 lb 4. You will often see large schools swimming into bays during the spring and summer months in tropical waters. This stingray feeds on bivalves, tube anemones, amphipods, crustaceans, and Nereid worms.
The Atlantic Stingray makes great bait for catching numerous species of sharks, such as the Hammerhead, Tiger and the Bull Shark. To use the Atlantic stingray for bait, first remove the short poisonous spine with pliers that is at the base of it's long tail. Using very heavy line and large J hooks, thread a double hook system through the belly then through the mouth.
The goal is for the stingray bait to appear to be swimming. You will catch very large fish with this setup, so be sure to use a heavy duty pole setup. Spotted eagle ray's are spotted most often flying throught the air as in this photo. They are a beautifully colored ray with spots all over it's back. If you see a ray jumping out of the water, do not seek it out but turn and go the other way - they have been know to land in boats unexpectadly injuring people as they land.
This ray does not have a stinger. Sturgeon are native to subtropical, temperate and sub-Arctic rivers, lakes and coastlines. While some are entirely freshwater, very few venture into the open ocean beyond near coastal areas. Sturgeons range from 7? Most sturgeons are bottom-feeders, they use their projecting wedge shaped snout to stir up the soft bottom, and use the barbels to detect shells, crustaceans and small fish.
They do not have teeth, so they must swallow their prey whole. Most species of sturgeons are considered at risk of extinction, making them more critically endangered than any other group of species. Sturgeon jump out of the water and can jump in your boat without warning, watch this FWC video. Swordfish are deep water dwellers found from the surface down to over 2, feet near the continental shelf.
This powerful fish can be pounds or more and give you the fight of a lifetime. The Swordfish feed on squid, fish and crustaceans.

Nomadland is exhausting in the ways that some people might call art, but which a more considered opinion might describe as depression porn. They see some kind of Old West rumination on love, loss and yearning. For sure, there are elements of that, but the most maddening aspect of Nomadland is the muddled sense that somethings are suddenly realizing the American dream is bogus. By now anyone with brains should know that the American dream has taken a beating in the.
In the meantime, smart publications have exhaustively excavated the systematic hollowing out of life in this country, heisted by the hoarding that has gone on with increasing rapidity since the turn of the 21st century � hoarding of wealth, hoarding of land, hoarding of opportunity.

Cindy Derr is one of those people. Derr and I first joined forces in , when she reclaimed the helm of the Clark Fork volleyball program after taking a hiatus. I was a senior, in love with volleyball and eager to please. She held me to a higher standard than I ever thought myself capable of achieving. We won the district championship that year, despite a rocky season, and � as it turned out � Derr and I made a great team. No one wanted to see her players succeed like Derr.
You can celebrate. You can yell. You can give them every single volleyball tool you know to impart. Derr died on March 5, after a long, brutal fight with cancer.
The summer sun is hot and the lake is quiet, lapping against the smooth rocks in a familiar rhythm. In the meantime, I look forward to representing her legacy. RIP Coach Derr. Go Lady Cats.

The long dark nights, cold gray skies and sweeping landscapes of the former Viking lands seem perfectly primed as backdrops to desperate murders and growling detectives in black overcoats. As its title aptly describes, the film � with the same name as the best-selling novel by Jonas Jonasson � focuses on a man, named Allan Karlsson, who on the occasion of his th birthday decides to give the whole thing a miss and escapes through.
From there, he embarks on an aimless yet chaotic journey through rural Sweden as well as the fantastical events of his own life. The film opens with Karlsson in his tiny cabin in the woods, already clearly nearing advanced old age, as his beloved cat � Molotov � jumps out the window and disappears.
Karlsson finds the cat has fallen victim to a marauding fox. Angered, the old man deftly constructs an explosive trap, which the fox quickly triggers � detonating in a bloody blast of fur, snow and parts of his own chicken coop.
Bodies can and do pile up. Karlsson is a simple man living in complicated times, though it soon becomes clear that his simplicity has acted as a kind of armor for navigating the literally explosive vicissitudes of his life. Moorless, young Karlsson spends his days blowing things up, first with firecrackers then bigger and bigger homemade bombs.
A grisly, yet comedic, accident lands the orphan in an asylum, where he grows into his distinctive quirks. Mutilated by a sloppy sterilization surgery, Karlsson has only three real ambitions upon leaving. First stop: a weapons foundry, which leads him to serving as a demolitions expert fighting with the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. The history in the film is almost completely invented, and the shifting temporal perspectives get a little wearying; but, overall The Year-Old Man is simply a really good time and proof that the Swedes can be just funny as they are dark and dour.
Stream it on Amazon Prime. With great determination and anticipation, I planted and fertilized and watered my little treasures. Then along came fall, and it was time to harvest my heirloom tomatoes both of them. That day, I decided I was tossing in my trowel for good.
It was not a decision easily made. There is a lot of self-imposed pressure where I live, bordered by green-thumbed, master-gardener-type neighbors.
Over a picket fence, I watch my next-door grower, Eric, literally fill bushel baskets of bright red, ripe Roma tomatoes waiting to be sauced. She says these are some of her happiest days. Last fall I came to terms with my plan to let someone else tend to the gardening.
I was going to hang up my hoe, hand the starters over to professionals and hang out at the Saturday market, or subscribe to one of our local CSAs. Luring me in with lush gardens on Pinterest and Instagram, sponsored by countless companies like Burpees and Bentleys and Dutch Gardens, I decided to give it another go. I mean, I already know the vernacular: peat, pots, moss, compost, stakes, manure, fertilizer, straw, bedding frost, flood, blight and bugs.
I can hardly wait. Now, surrounded by seed. Do I need open-pollinated or non-GMO seeds? Buy soil by the bag or truckload? Raised beds or flat? Should I have a greenhouse built, or see how this first season goes grows? Though I plan on growing an assortment of food stuffs, tomatoes, with all their different varieties, sizes and colors, have a special allure. I once had a wealthy client from the South, and her favorite appetizer was a tomato pie.
She would instruct me to buy the best and most beautiful hybrids I could. When she first gave me her recipe to follow, I was surprised to learn that store-bought mayonnaise was a key ingredient. Though It was a delicious dish, the purist in me really wanted to find a substitute for the mayonnaise. I tried eggs, Greek yogurt and ricotta, but it turned out that the marriage of tomatoes and mayo are key to the success of this savory pie. Southern Tomato Pie This pie is perfect for all meals, in all seasons.
It also makes a great hot dip � just ditch the crust and cook in an au gratin or small casserole vessel. Allow to drain for at least 30 minutes. Stir together mayonnaise, the first two cheeses and salt and pepper. Pat thin layer of cheese mixture on bottom of pie shell. Next layer tomatoes and basil. And remaining cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake 20 minutes on bottom rack, reduce heat to F, and move to top shelf. Cook another minutes, until lightly browned and cheese is melted.
Remove from oven. Cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with basil leaves. Singing praises to movie musicals that work The Irish film Sing Street is endearing and gritty all at once.
Movie musicals are tricky. At their best, they weave a story around infectious melodies that leave viewers still humming long after the movie has ended.
At their worst, they make you cringe every time a new song flops onto the script. The past decade has seen a reinvigoration of the movie musical with an attempt to downplay some of the grandeur and paint a more realistic picture of the fraught relationship some artists have with music. He plays a washed up country artist who has fallen on hard times, pissing in jugs and gigging at bowling alleys while nursing a serious alcohol problem.
Offerman plays a musician who never really made it. He owns a record store and somewhat accidentally becomes a new indie sensation when releasing a track with his daughter from a practice session. Offerman and bright newcomer Keegan DeWitt actually play their parts live during filming, doing away with the awkward lip synching and fake dubbing of past movie musicals. In this spirit, the Irish coming-of-age film Sing Street breathes fresh air into this genre. Set in s Dublin, a yearold boy named Conor grows up in a home reeking of failure.
His parents are splitting up, his older brother once had dreams, but now just wanders around the house. Everyone dreams of getting out of Ireland. Russia is notoriously hard to figure out. For such an enigmatic place and people, it should come as a no surprise that sci-fi is an apt medium through which to explore the dark chambers of the Russian soul.
Brothers Boris and Arkady Strugatsky were the best: their books carry a pitch-black humor twisted with a profound Janus-faced cynical optimism. Roadside Picnic is a master class in the Strugatsky style.
Overall, the film pulls no punches. It could be the origin story of any famous or failed musician. Like so many of us did when facing those same awkward times, Conor tries to dream his way out of his mundane reality.
He spots a beautiful girl claiming to be a model, played by Lucy Boynton, who has dreams of going to London someday. They eventually land a gig to play at a school dance, but Conor arranges a shoot for a music video beforehand. His parents are there, beaming with smiles. His older brother fights off a brute with a knife, which turns into a synchronized dance. Everything has a golden hue, a beautiful purpose, a resolution. Everything hits on the beat and the dream is attainable.
But the real world is filled with confusion, misunderstanding, bad habits and ruts into which our lives have drifted. The promise of art, the creative drive, is sometimes the only thing that makes sense out of this disjointed world. Sing Street does an excellent job capturing that.
It also shows that the muse � in this case a beautiful girl living at a public home with a bipolar mother and dead father � is beautiful inside the art, but just as messed up and lost as the rest of us. The degenerate, the pious, the flawed and the damned � if you wrap it in something beautiful, we all have a chance to share in that emotional release. Stream it free at tubitv. Those Swedes, man.
From furniture to noir films, the Swedish oeuvre is characterized by quiet extremity.

The fair last year was a demonstration of what can be done in this the banner county of the state, and should only be a starter to show what can be done at another exhibit. Prizes will be awarded on produce in all lines as well as to works of art and fancy work as was done at the fair last season.
Steps are to be taken to hold the fair this fall in a larger place than last year as the club rooms were filled to their utmost capacity and as the event has been announced earlier than it was a year ago the display will certainly be much more elaborate. More definite plans will be announced later as will the prizes which are to be offered by the business men.

What I have learned is that absolutes do not really have a place in our lives. They force us to overcommit to a belief and then stubbornly cling to it with a vice-like grip and information bias until we identify solely with our conviction. Worse, dissenting from those beliefs confuses us about what we actually stand for, so we avoid contemplating the alternative altogether. I decided I stand for compassion, both for myself and others. Our community embraces the entire spectrum of values that are challenged as we navigate the outcomes of this surreal experience.
