It was caught in brackish water about 5 miles inland from gulf of Mexico.  Where Texas and Louisiana meet.

Yep. It is not un-common to find tailor as far inland as brackish water. I don't think I have ever heard of them or seen them in fresh water, but certainly in brackish water.

Bluefish on the GA Coast as well. My friends and I call them machine gunners, cause they hit several times fast, and steal your bait. .
