Anybody fished much for them? Are they off the LA/MS coast?

I did it a lot when I was a kid. Head out early morning in August and put a dead shrimp (large) on a hook with a weight on a 6’ leader of heavy mono under a big cork and fish under buoys and beckons, floating trash, etc. If a a blackfish is there you’ll see it (polarized sunglasses). They will eat it. If you’re lucky, you happen upon a lemon fish too. Both are great eating and don’t need much other than butter and lemon.
Good luck and be safe...

Caught a few in Mobile Bay a couple weeks back. Just cruised the tide lines until we saw some floating. Live shrimp under a cork

Almost always catch them on grass lines.
Really fun with salt water fly rod.

Absolutely a great eating fish. We catch them over here (MS) under ANYTHING floating, but mostly crab trap floats. There's a lot of them and they get hit pretty hard over this way in recent years. That said, the biggest ones I've ever caught were out of Venice around some shallow structures.
Live shrimp under a cork and just bring it right by them. Hang on tight and get it away from the structure quick.

I heard they catch some big ones off Venice not far out once the water gets green and little tidelines form

Negative side effect of lower snapper limits. People are still gonna go fishing.
