What is this bait fish and is it good for anything?
We fish for bait out near the bouy out of OB. Many times we catch a very silvery, slick, no scale fish with a yellow tail that is flat and looks a bit like a jack. What is it and is it any good for bait???
thanks Greg |

No pics, I can't find a pic on the net anywhere either. Kinda looks like a pompano/jack creval sorta.
Crazy fish? Is there another name? I couldn't find any crazy fish on the net. |

Sounds like a leatherjacket and they will sting the crap out of you if you touch thier belly and will last a while. I found out the hard way. Look anything like this?

Very similar to this. It is called an Atlantic Bumper.
Maybe it is a moon fish. |

That's the ol' crazy fish, AKA Leather Jack. I haven't found a single fish that eats them yet. All I know is if that dorsal fin sticks you in the hand, it's going to hurt like hell for a while! Throw those back and try for some hardtails.
