Back in the 70's and 80's we caught many nice ones up to 14 pounds in the........river. They may still come there and with the return of pogy schools, one can hope.

I really enjoyed catching them

They must be kept on ice as the meat turns soft, mushy real quick. The fish in the picture were pulled from an ice filled cooler, immediately filleted and the fillets bagged and put back on ice. The meat is very good, kind of like cod or black sea bass.
I think I would be more conservative if I catch any more, might keep one or 2. Those were the days of "100 pounds + one fish", no commercial fishing licence needed to sell fish.
