We were catching them in the mouth of the river close to where it enters the bay. We just hooked a live herring through the back, tossed them out and let them swim. You could tell when something was nearby because the herring would start to run. Once the fish took the herring, it would just stip out line for a while. We had to follow with the boat and try to keep them from going to the bottom where they could tangle our lines in debris. We caught several species this way, including Tarpon.
