What techniques are popular for catching scup in Panama City?

One popular method is to use a bottom rig with a high-low leader setup, tipped with a piece of squid or clam as bait. This allows the angler to target scup that are feeding near the ocean floor. Another effective technique is to cast small jigs or soft plastic lures around rock piles or structure where scup are known to hang out. These lures mimic the movements of small baitfish, enticing scup to strike.
For those looking to increase their chances of success while scup fishing in Panama City, it's important to pay attention to the tides and currents. Scup are often more active during periods of moving water, so fishing during the incoming or outgoing tide can lead to more bites.

These fish can be finicky at times, so it may take some trial and error to figure out what techniques and bait are most successful.
