what are good fish to catch in the gulf of mexico?

Question

and what is the bait for the fish

Answer 1

King fish also known as king mackerel, cobia, black fin tuna and amberjack are very good eating fish--i've used ribbon fish and bonito as bait.

Answer 2

It's easier to name the fish that AREN'T good to catch! you have just about every thing there. Live shrimp and squid will catch just about anyhting that swims there. Check the local bait shops to find out what is running and what to use, they'll proably even point you to a good spot. Good luck and Tight lines.
