This fish can be caught on a variety of baits from artificial's trolled, the Kingspoon being a local favorite. Drifting live baits and chumming or even with fish strips produces "smokers". They are strong and sizzling fighters making great speedy runs.  On light tackle the fight can last for some while. Many fish are lost however if you do not use heavy monofilament or wire leaders. 

In the boat beware of their teeth which are extremely sharp and can inflict a nasty wound. Always wear gloves when handling when alive. I have had my fare share of cuts from these fish.
