Yes, presuming they are close in enough, you can with topwater lures. In my area (east central Florida) some target them with fly rods along the beach, but they're rarely close enough to shore here to do it consistently.

The Best areas are south of Sebastian Inlet, Wabasso, to Vero Beach. You do need to use heavy tackle, and try to keep a smooth, consistent pressure on them to try to keep them from jumping too much. Good Luck!
