They used to be everywhere but nowadays finding them is the real trick....at least around where I live. I've had the best success in mildly brackish ponds with a connection to saltwater (i.e., ponds that have an inflow only on the moon tides). They tend to school up and move around.

I use a large, gold, Thomas Colorado spoon and fish it slow and deep.

Back in the day the commercial guys would chum and fish for them with grass shrimp.
