SCUP ON!!
To many ethenticities especially Potuguese folk, scup is a delicacy. They pan cook them whole and the meat supposedly comes off the bone.
I personally have never tried it, but the consensus I have heard is that it is an acquired taste.

Bass love scup. But not quite as much as blue fish.
Drop down a piece of anything on a hook, catch them, and live line them. We have had some big scup take chunks of pogie on 8/0 octupus hooks.
When we live line them we usually cut the dorsal spines off and clip a wing so they don't swim quite as well.
