So far the closest anyone has come is "cutbait". There have also been guesses of finger mullet, pinfish, and whiting. It is a fish, and it is cutbait. That should narrow it down a bit. Of course, you guys could always just give up and I'll tell you - but what fun is that?
Well, that all depends on what your definition of the word "is" is.
Ok, I bet the guys on the offshore board would have guessed this pretty quick. Last clue - frozen, in a box, grouper bait. If nobody gets this in a couple more guesses then I'll give up the goods.
Ding ding ding - we have a winner! LY's is the correct answer. The people I first went fishing for bull reds with in P-cola used them, so that's what I have always used. Apparently, it also doesn't hurt to have a bag of Fiery Habanero Dorito's aboard. They were with me on both trips, so I'll probably have to start carrying them on every trip, just so as not to mess with the mojo. I'll let you guys know if they produce similar results with other species of fish.
