I have caught a few in my cast by accident but having read a few post I am willing to "hunt" them down.
I service a 750 gallon tank that is 18 long x3tall x2wide should be a fun to watch.
At one time a local fisherman brought in a few larger Selene vomers and they being wild caught were in fact full of worms they lived a while but the worms won out.
This is the primary reason that to net Juveniles.-Must repair my impeller- and do some more reading.
I live on the south end of Port Royal Sound
Cut/Past info about the sound I found interesting.

The Port Royal Sound Estuary - The Cradle of Life
Before your arrival for your island holiday, you may find it interesting to know what makes Hilton Head Island so special!
Hilton Head Island is located in the Port Royal Sound, the largest drainage basin in South Carolina. It is an extensive, biologically diverse watershed that has supported human habitation for as long as 10,000 years. The Port Royal Sound area covers an estimated 42,000 acres of open tidal water and 180,000 acres of freshwater wetlands, ponds, forests, farms and urban communities.
The Sound is formed by the confluence of seven slow-moving, navigable rivers: the Beaufort, Pocotaligo, Tullifiny, Coosawhatchie, Broad, Chechessee and Colleton "“ with countless creeks, inlets, streams and other tributaries. These waterways enter the Atlantic Ocean between HIlton Head Island and St. Helena's Island.
Port Royal Sound is an ecosystem known as an estuary. This is a mixing region between the sea and inland waters. Here, suspended nutrients are trapped and collected faster than they can be removed by tides. The estuary receives 10 times more inflow of seawater than fresh water. Tides range more than seven feet. Turbulent currents mix saltwater, freshwater and nutrients in a uniform manner, and deposit them in the higher reaches of waterways.
Broad expanses of salt marsh fringe the water of the sound providing the Island with its magnificent landscapes. Flooded and drained twice a day by tide, these wetland prairies support 15 times more living organisms than the open ocean! Salt marshes are renowned as the nurseries for shrimp, crabs, oysters, clams and fishes, and as feeding habitat for wading birds, waterfowl, marine mammals and upland animals. The estuary is doubly productive because different species utilize the tributaries, marshes and mudflats at either high or low tides.
The Port Royal Sound area has a subtropical climate that makes local conditions ideal for outdoor activities during your holiday. Spring through autumn, winds blow off the ocean and are light and variable. The sea breezes provide a cooling effect in summer, and a warming effect in winter. Average temperatures range from 49° to 62° December through February, 57° to 82° March through May, 77° to 89° June through August, and 76° to 69° September though November.Source: Southeastern Ecological Institute.
Ok I have a small gamefisher and a 4hp motor so I am limited but confident.
I hear that they are caught on a hook but I am hoping to net a school.
