I fished Croatan today and caught one of these on a spec rig with gulp minnows. It looks like a weird oyster toad to me. Didn't get any more bites. Hopefully things pick up soon.
Stargazer....they will bury themselves in the sand in shallow water. They have a wicked dorsal spine that will inflict damage if stepped on while wading barefooted. Beware.
