BAIT!

In mobile theyre called " BUTTERTROUT"

Do they get bigger? Theres alot of em at prien rt now...

Heck yea. We catch em 1-2 lbs

Literally every cast as soon as it hit the water... Had to switch to a smaller hook to catch em

You can tell when its a white trout, they smash it!!!!!

Is there a limit on them?

Bait stealing SOB

no limit or regulation for size!

All over the south end of the lake too.
Caught some around 14" today

This isnt same as a sand trout correct? Bc ive caught sand trout and didnt look like this

Correct!

Its a silver perch. I dont think there are any regs on them

There are two different, closely related, species. See:

One is the sand seatrout, which is my best guess for the specimen in the picture. The other is the silver seatrout. I never work to hard to tell them apart. If it is over 12" it goes in the ice chest. Under 12", it goes on a hook.

I remember as a boy fishing in the channel at the jetties, I put a nice 15" sand trout on a stringer, and a while later pulled back in 1/2 a sand trout. I haven't used a stringer there since.

Ive caught alot of sand trout. And this def wasnt a sand trout. Didnt look like a trout at all really. Sand trout look identical to specs w/o the spots basically. This looks nothing like them.

Is it a whiting

That was my thoughts. Can't really tell in the pic.

Nah bc ive caught them too... This doesn't have teethe like a trout either... Looked more like some kind of perch

I think IKE84 is right. Google Silver Perch(Bairdiella chrysoura) its a member of the croker family.

We call them butter fish. A real pain when fishing live shrimp

Looks a lot like the sand seatrout, but no canine teeth and has chin pores.

Fish I.d.
 

Looks like a silver perch ( Bairdella Chrysura). Some folks call them yellow tails. They have a sharp gill covering which can get you if your'e not careful. Bentup

Did it have teeth like a speck?

Nope... No teeth

never seen one but looks to be what MG stated.

Its not a whiting, which is also called a channel mullet, which is also said to be really good to eat:rotfl:
