Has anyone found a lure that will catch these fish. I've caught one on accident once on a home made tiny jig.Other than that, I haven't found anything that will work. They are one of my favorite fish to catch.In my opinion, nothing fo rtheir size fights any harder. I catch them by using big red worms..and fishing them on the bottom with out any weight UNLESS the wind is blowing. They barely move the line thus the reason I use no weight..Awesome tasting.Floridians call these Shell Crackers.
