U can cast net um as they are not a game fish. If you keep them be sure to remove the guts before transporting them.

I caught hundreds from the boat slip of the place I was staying on the west coast of Florida in Ft. Myers - Bread caught all of them. Might want to wear some gloves while cleaning them, the gills & scales will tear your hands up!

Thanks, I will most likely just try and net them. I just want to see one in person, I have never seen anyone catch one and the curiosity has gotten to me.
