This species is in the catalog but not yet linked to any mapped waypoint.
East-coast rockwall, breakwall and estuary specialist that feeds on green weed and cabbage. Float-fished with weed baits over weed-fringed structure, especially in winter when big schools mass. A purist's fish — long, lean float rods and very specific bait gathering culture.
Generally fished with light tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions, so check recent reports before a trip.
