Squirrelfish
Do people use squirrelfish for bait on the southeast coast? I'm thinking about the red/orange ones with the poison barbs. If so, how do they fair?

Re: Squirrelfish
Generally no one uses them for bait. Nasty sharp spines with venom and razor sharp scales ..... but I have heard they have been a hot bait more than once for muttons in the Tugas.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.
