Atlantic Croaker
The Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) is very similar in appearance to a small black drum. The easiest way to tell them apart is that the barbels (whiskers) on the drum’s chin are pronounced, while on the croaker’s they are very tiny. They are also called chut, grunter, corvina, crocus and rocodina. They are great bait for grouper and many other fish when they are fished from a still boat – they don’t troll well at all….
White Grunt
The white grunt (Haemulon plumieri); also known as “grunt”, “pigfish” and, if you’re a grouper fisherman – “oh jeez, not another *%*&$# grunt”. One of the suncoast’s oldest party boat owners, Captain Hubbard, way back in the 50’s I think, coined the name gray snapper for the white grunt, “cause snapper sounds fancier than grunt”. So anytime you’re on a party boat in the mid Florida west coast area, you’re catching ‘gray snapper”. This smallish denizen of the Gulf rockpiles doesn’t get much respect from fishermen intent on wrestling grouper and snapper from their favorite holes…
