Lemon sharks cruisin' mangroves at dawn/dusk, and offshore sword ledge slams with swordfish and giant blackfins per YouTube hauls.
Hit 'em with live shrimp, mullet, or ladyfish for bait—works killer on snapper and tarpon. Top lures: Nomad Chug Norris for surface explosions, Bertox sardine jigs, or Yummee flying fish daisy chains for pelagic hunters.
