Hit a local inlet Saturday to get out of the wind a bit…my wife caught 5 of these, any ideas on what it might be?? I have no clue. They were all about 6", caught on fish bites tipped with fresh peeled shrimp, I was surprised she caught something that small, she said it was a pretty agressive bite for their size. Note- not clearly pictured- they all had 2 long white whiskers.
Was able to fish the beach Sunday morning and got 2 nice black drum and a few decent whiting on fresh shrimp on carolina rig. All fish released as I wasn’t expecting much and did’t have a big enough cooler or decent ice…I’ll be ready next time. Saw some menhaden off the beach as well.
Help with the fish ID is much appreciated!
