The Sand Seatrout is characterized by its sleek body, two large teeth and an oversized mouth. Markings consist of a golden or tan top and a silvery or white bottom.
These fish are found at or near snady or hard bottoms in the deeper waters of channels and bays, but may venture into grassy shallow waters at times, It is definately more abundant on the Gulf coast and waters.
Shrimp (both live and dead) and cut baitfish or squid make for the best natural bait, while jigs are the best artificial bait.
