I am flabbergasted...had no idea these things moved into the lake. Amazing day fishing. Beautiful weather and placed 2nd in the black drum and redfish category

I've caught them off the dock in the pearl before. Was shocked then too.

My parents love to eat croakers so we'd just park the boat in there and fill up the ice chest. Pin fish, croakers, snappers, etc. Every now and then we'd pull in a nice size red in there too.

Are pinfish good?
I always throw them back.
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to one of the Pearl Bridges on 90 and try my luck.

We catch them at the rock wall on the MRGO. Never big enough to keep unfortunately.

BTW, we use the same bottom rig.

Lots of juvenile mangroves in the marsh this time of year. I've been catching them on artificial around fourchon.

thats my buddy's setup and his hand in the picture. My bottom rig is so much easier and more efficient

I've caught them in the MRGO and at the Fourchon jetties over the years. They like structure, and apparently will come close to relate to it. That said, pretty sure that's not a mangrove snapper. We used to catch those at my grandpa's in Mississippi growing up-I think it is called a grunt. My grandpa used to say people in Mississippi liked to eat grits and grunts.
