Menhaden fresh fishing bait is great for bottom fishing for Striped Bass, Tuna, Red Drum, Bluefish, Redfish, Cobia, Sharks, Weakfish, and Mackerel. Around 35% of the Atlantic menhaden harvest is used for bait by commercial fishermen (predominately for blue crab pots), as well as recreational sport fishermen.
