Boat Bait or Gulp?

[fish4fun]

okay....we all know fluke fishing in the bay between Sandy Hook and the pier is to put it mild...sucks. Lots of shorts and that occasional keeper. What is the reason for this year's lackluster season brings many different answers. Until things turnaround we got to make the best out of the worst. As a party boat fisherman all I can do is try different baits and hope for the best. Is it spearing with a squid strip? Maybe a buck tail but what color? Or is it one of the three dozen varieties and sizes of Gulp and if so which color and length? Oh...please bring back the good ole' days where live killies were king of the hill. Help!
