  Flat needlefish often feed near the surface; use a fast retrieve with lures or drift live bait under a float. Look for them around structure like docks and grass flats.

• For Silver tandan

  Silver Tandan often school, so if you catch one, keep fishing the same area. Use light line and finesse techniques for best results.
