Yes but those fish can be a confounding PITA. I’ve caught them on the oldest, driest, nastiest piece of cut bait on the board to free gaffing them as they swam over the gaff after looking at it for 10 minutes. Tomtates are cobia candy. I wore them out on a dedicated grouper setup with an 8/0 hook through the nose of legal B-liners last year. Eels, tomtates, squid, whole filet of a bank bass, slow pitch jigs with a little piece of meat on it. You never know what they’re going to eat.
