Some of those guys can mess up a finger. Its the healing part of when they stick you that gets sore! I don't think they out rank the FireWorm though. Seen a few people mess with those too out at Pickens Pier at night. Not a good outcome!

Tight Lines!

They make excellent cut bait. I fished NAS back when my father was working there and our bait of choice for flounder was a pink and white stingray grub with a small piece of lizard fish. They have a really white meat....not bloody at all...and you get two nice pieces down each side. Might want to call them "mother-in-law fish"! They are ugly!

Never thought of trying that, but I will. Little Lagoon is loaded with them on the north side in shallow water. They will jump all over a small Gulp.

I think TCAT said "what the heck" one day at the Nipple and dropped a bait (2000' ?) in the middle of nowhere. 45 minutes later he reeled up a "lizard fish"...

I know I was "stalled" in the middle of NOWHERE once just a few miles outside the pass waiting for help (TowBoat US) and MADMAX dropped a line and caught one.

Are these in the Sound as well? I'm new to saltwater fishing and I was fishing near Navarre Bridge and got something similiar to this, just much smaller.
He had quite a bit of teeth as well.

yes, the bays and bayous have plenty of the smaller ones around, i get those and needlefish in my cast net pretty often lately, both irritate the hell out of me, they dont want to come out of the net without tearing part of it up a little and they really like to try to use them teeth when you go to put them back in the water if you dont want them for bait
