Coryphaena---the fish you were refering to as a"momzelle' is the atlantic threadfin (Polydactylus Octonemus).In the late 1960's and early 70's in the fall of the year,we would find these small fish schooling at Ft.Pickens pier,along with round scads "cigar minnows",big eye scads"popeyes"and herring.The water would be black with this "bait fish" on the out going tideand all one had to do was use a small treble hook(#4)tied to 10 or 12 lb test line,snatch a baitfish and throw it up-current from the pier.Spotted seatrout,redfish or flounder would nail this baitfish.It seems this species( A.Threadfin) has met its fate in the Pensacola/Escambia bay system due to many factors.... shrimping,pollution,etc.as the population has been depleted.

Actually this color looks more like an LY, they come in many colors. And yesI tie straight to the eye...was out Sunday afternoonand tried both ways.LOOP way...4 out 10 tangled with the leadingline, none...tied straight to the eye. Anyhoo I fish this over grass flats 2 to 12 feet and on small bayou/canalssame depth. I usually hold the rod tip at water level sometimes under the surface depends how deep I want it to run...with slow steady retreive then a twitch a couple times and pauseand back to retreive. I usually cover a lotof territory until I find fish withmany...many cast.SLASH fish as bass fisherman call it. Oh well good luck and don't give up on 3 Mile just poor timing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It will COME!!!!!!!!

HELL....Sunday I tried Escambia Bay NW...NE and even Santa Rosa Sound with no LUCK Shit Happens!!!!!got rid of some stale gas E10 problems!!!!never let your gas sit too long.

THANKS AGAIN ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
