What kind of fish are these?

Found me near the water color line waiting for a tow. What are they?

Blue runners are $2-3 ea from the FLA bait boats.

That’s what I heard about em but wasn’t sure that’s what I caught. I hope to take em out and practice slow trolling in preparation for the us open in Southport!

I was hooked up on a good king when I saw the tow boat coming to you. Howd you do that day?

Caught a couple on plugs out deeper. Caught a 15” Spanish on a sabiki right before I pulled up those blue runners. Did you say you hooked a nice king in the area you saw me?

Yes. I hooked a good one right next to you. I landed it a little after you were hooked to tow boat us.

I hooked up about 400 yards off your starboard stern. Fish stole my good gaff too!

Once I caught a 3 lb blue runner - good eating ! no worms.

A 3 pound blue runner would be awesome to have this coming saturday if the weather report gets better!

I caught a big spanish right after that king. You stopped in a great spot. I guess they were eating those blue runners. Water was still green. You were about a mile away from a good rip line of green and brown water.

In the VI we call the hardnose and the local folks love eating them. I can get $5/lb all day for them. We catch a bunch of 1-2 lbers but 3-4 lbers are not uncommon

So they are good eating?? I will try any fish twice
