Cut bait? Not sure...

I think that is one of those things people call a bluefish.

Looks like a big ole Bull shad. But I'm sure it ain't.

Redfish bait.

You could get a good tarpon on that sucker or a big red snapper !

That's a bluefish. We don't get big ones like they do on the east coast. You'll see them through the winter.

Here's a quick blog entry from the Chronicle with a photo.

gizzard shad ?

IMO Bluefish all the way. They get as big as about 8-10 lbs. here in the Gulf. They will take your finger off. They will chop a trout in half. Contrary to what Yankees say, I do not think they are good to eat. Their meat is similar to that of mackerel. Their teeth are recessed a bit so you would not see them well without pulling down their gums.
