I wish I knew where to catch Ribbonfish. I hear they are taken off the piers in Central and Northern Florida. They are a random occurrence off Ft. Lauderdale. I caught one once trolling a large Bonita strip at night while targeting a Cubera. The ones I used were line-caught brined frozen at $18/2 pack, it was pricey bait to waste on Cudas. They don't really look like the long surgical tube lures that are often marketed for Cudas. I have yet to try one of those lures as Cudas are an incidental and not a targeted species.

Thanks Ben, What I would have done to trade all 4 of them for even a runt King. Hindsight is 20/20.... had I known the other anglers' catches, I would have stayed out deep jigging for Tuna. The one I got was good for 9th place.
