I don't catch many at all. 4 or 5 per year on the mainland. Barrier islands however, WOW!! They can be extremely abundant on Sapelo, Blackbeard, Cumberland, and Ossabaw. As far as size goes, I rarely see one over 5 foot. I have only seen one over 6 ft in my life. I am planning a photo trip to Blackbeard in a few days, hope to find several there.
