I spotted billbob fishing on a pier in St Augustine Florida. It was way windy. Could not even get the bait to the water. But here's a pic where wifey did ketch something, it was a different pier we fished this morn.

Looks like you’re after the very elusive “coastal crappie”. lol
Sheepshead

That Koozie can’t give her a hug like Billbob can it? :dono:dono
Spadefish, not Sheepshead. Had more of of an angel fish look, not a sheepshead look. Spadefish is what the folks on the pier called it. Fought like heck though. Thought it was three time as big.
When I saw the title, I thought “ well, that’s a common thing”. Shoulda known it was his coozie getting around with him still in recovery stage. Windy down this way too. Looks like y’all are enjoying the area. Some pretty stuff. The Rain Tree Inn for some better than average dining. Not far from Ripleys museum, if that’s still there.
I was certainly hoping he was recovered and out and about enjoying himself. We will keep praying for him up this way. Nice catch.
In his book "Hunting for the pot, fishing for the pan", Byron Dalrymple mentions the spade fish as being a hard fighter and good eating. Used small hooks and small baits.
Have you ever kept any to try in the pan?
