Argentine red shrimp, Argentine stiletto shrimp, sea trout, acoupa weakfish, king weakfish and tomtate grunt were also negatively correlated with depth, but exhibited positive correlation with latitude (i.e., a southernmost distribution) (Fig.

SEFIS trap surveys: Black Sea Bass (Centropristis striata), Tomtate (Haemulon aurolineatum), Red Porgy (Pagrus pagrus), Bank Sea Bass (Centropristis ocyurus), Gray Triggerfish (Balistes capriscus), Vermilion Snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens), Stenotomus spp., and Sand Perch (Diplectrum formosum) (Table 1).

The huge cubera was caught on spinning tackle and ate a live tomtate grunt that was intended for a cobia.

Of the 2,805 individuals used for bait, the species caught and used most often were chub mackerel, Scomber japonicus (29%); pinfish, Lagodon rhomboides (20%); and tomtate, Haemulon aurolineatum (16%).

3), three assemblages had the strongest similarities among member species, labeled here as the deepwater assemblage (blueline tilefish, snowy grouper, speckled hind, and yellowedge grouper), southern assemblage (blue runner, gray snapper, lane snapper, mutton snapper, and yellowtail snapper), and northern assemblage (bank sea bass, black sea bass, knobbed porgy, gag, gray triggerfish, greater amberjack, red porgy, red snapper, scamp, tomtate, vermilion snapper, white grunt, and whitebone porgy).

The dominant species in descending order of abundance included Atlantic spadefish, Chaetodipterus faber; red snapper, Lutjanus campechanus; vermilion snapper, Rhomboplites aurorubens; hardhead catfish, Arius felis; blue runner, Caranx fusus; sheepshead, Archosargus probatocephalus; tomtate, Haemulon aurolineatum; and lane snapper, Lutjanus synagris.

Live pilchards hooked through the lips and freelined to the bottom will get some of the biggest snappers, as will a small, live tomtate grunt, better known in Miami as the spot grunt (it has a small black spot near its tail).

But cobia that have seen them from Panama City to Pensacola might prefer a finfish like a croaker, tomtate or mullet.

According to Bullock, scamp stomach samples have turned up a lot of vermilion snapper (beeliners) and tomtates (spots).

Palm-size pinfish, squirrelfish, tomtates and freshly procured threadfin herring are the baits of choice for these two savvy captains.
