Species Overview

Black Crappie

The black crappie is a popular panfish found throughout North American lakes and reservoirs. Known for its delicate, sweet-tasting flesh, it is most actively caught during spring spawning when it moves to shallow water near cover.

Cobia

The cobia is a powerful pelagic fish that often follows large rays, sharks, and turtles. Its flattened head and elongated body resemble a shark. Excellent table fare with firm, white flesh, it is increasingly farmed in aquaculture.
