Pinfish lesson

The next day we took the girls down to the dock to do some fishing. We used live shrimp and a tiny hook and the fish started biting.

I had to go to the trusty world wide web to find out what it was: a pinfish.
























Lagodon rhomboids

Pinfish make ideal bait for a wide variety of local species. Found grazing by the thousands throughout the shallow inshore waters, they’re often very easy to catch From spring to late fall large concentrations of pinfish inhabit just about every sea grass bed, bridge, pier, natural and artificial reef along both sides of the State. In the Gulf, you’ll also find pinfish actively foraging in the surf.

Now you know.
