I catch a lot of pinfish in a castnet, but I would like to catch more mojara: I sometimes catch a mojarra (sand perch?) or two while cast netting. Is there a better way to target them?

Last post

Take one of those big ones toss it in a open spillway and see what happens lol

:toast: ok but if it doesn't get hit its going to d frying pan lol.
