I've caught a few of em myself, and they are a FUN FIGHT! Just when you think he's wooped, he takes off again, and again, and again. The most consisyent method I have used has been while fishing structure. Cast out a live green back or herring upstream of a structure and let a swift tide carry it into the structure, most of the time they will nail it going into the current and haul A$$ into the current for there first run. Also be careful bringing them into the boat while there still green, they are one STRONG fish and can hurt you if your not careful. The biggest one I ever caught was about 90 pounds while fishing a wreck in 115 feet of water for grouper. Right at sunset he ate a whole sardine just as we were getting ready to pull the anchor. My dad caught one before that weighed in roughly 113 pounds which was 2 pounds shy of the florida record at that time. He also caught that one fishing on the bottom with a whole sardine for grouper, but was in 45 feet.
In TAMPA BAY they frequently come in there in the 30-75 pound range and hang around the channel markers when the green backs and herring are in.
