Anglers looking for big red drum put mullet or menhaden at the top of the bait board. If you are surf fishing using these cut hooks will be the best choice. Lesser red drum, often called red drum or catfish, are actually like whole live fish like small mullet fingers. They love to eat live bait fished live or near the bottom in the surf, around bridges and docks, or over oyster shells.
Sparrows are a top target for anglers, and the number one food sparrows live is minnows. Mud minnows that are store-bought work well but finger mullet or small menhaden (often called pogies regionally) are better. For the food of the sparrows must be lowered to the bottom.

You can dig sand fleas on the beach for a lot of fish, but they are especially loved by pompano.
Most of these fish will also strike artificial lures. Plugs like MirrOlures and other minnow imitators will pick up a variety of trout and you can cast them in the surf. Other soft baits like the Gulpbus brand and plastic or synthetic jigs on lead jigheads will catch trout, as well as in offshore areas.
Sparrows often cast a worm or buckhead slowly on the bottom. The blue mackerel, as well as the Spanish mackerel, are known to bite lead-plugs like the Gotcha-brand, which have taken fast action in water drawn from piers or boats Both blues and Spanish also use fleshy lures like gold and silver, which many trout and sparrows often prefer as well.
