Yeah, I usually caught them at night by accident on speck rigs or live shrimp.

I don't know how to catch them, but I know how to attract them by the hundreds....
For my last trip to the coast I made chum to fish for Shark, within 30 minutes of putting the chum in the water we had hundreds of ribbon fish around the boat.
The Chum was:
3 pints chicken Livers
3 Cans Sardines
1/2 Gallon Manhadden oil
1 can Salmon Catfood
about 3 cups of oatmeal
Ruined a blender blending this mess in 2.5 gallon buckets, then let sit about an hour then put in freezer...
On the water we poked a bunch of holes in the lid and tied off to side of boat....
This mess also put us on top of a school of Bull Reds that you wouldn't believe

I got Manhadden oil at Bass Pro Shops, and the Chicken livers I got at the Tom Thumb...
Finding the Manhadden Oil at BPS was Accidental, it wasn't anywhere that I would expect to find it, and the jug wasn't well marked either....

Snag1337 We caught some ribbon fish in Port A last year near the public boat dock right off the walkway at night. They were next to the posts in the darker shaded areas in about 3ft of water. They will hit a small piece of Shrimp on a #6 treble hook just fine. Bazz
