Canine teeth present. Smaller ones with skin on are tasty panfish. Those over a pound or so produce mild-flavored fillets. Fun, but no challenge. Light spinning tackle is best.
Favored baits are shrimp, live or dead, and small strips of fish or squid.
Small leadhead jigs are tops as artificials. All Florida coasts, but more plentiful in the upper half of the state. Basically, this is a fish of open water, but most of them are caught by Florida anglers during colder seasons, when they invade the deep channels of harbors and bays. A fine panfish, but seldom large enough to make filleting worthwhile. Best prepared by scaling and drawing, then pan-frying.
