Ive caught them in Ma by accident while fishing for scup, but twice last year we had them behind the boat on chum. Both times we cleaned em up and both times their was only 6 or 8 of em. This was off the vinyard and last year was probably the most i've seen in a single year. The chum was home made with crabs, clams, sand, and bait fish all ground up. I've caught them this way in Fl as well so im guessing if you can find them they should react everytime the same way......Good luck hope that helps

used to catch them all the time as bycatch bottom fishing in FL. Any kind of cut bait will work. Up here, I'd look for flotsam and toss small cut bait like mac or dines around it. You never know what will swim out from under it. To find them up here in the open water, you gotta be one lucky dude or put in a crap load of time or both!
