Did these fish evolve to eat more plastic and rubber as man has evolved to use more plastic and rubber as bait ?

I like that Andy S so true I wondered myself have fluke been watching the food network WTF

40 years ago on the Piper out of Point Pleasant or the Big Marie S out of Belmar my father and I caught all the fluke we wanted on a strip of squid and a dead frozen smelt. No one jigged for these fluke nor did they use plastic or rubber baits. It's an evolution in fishing.

40 years ago there was no internet, cell phones, NJFishing.com...but we use those everyday and don't bring up the days of old when you didn't need or have them....so yeah, evolution is great!

Has anyone tried a killie squid combo lately, I heard that works well.
Yes, captain Blackie Walsh, fond memory as a child. The boat was rocking heavily, I sat down in the cabin and wasn't feeling well. The old crusty mate with 2 teeth sits down beside me and starts chomping down raw smelt !!
The memories. Dad always caught lots of fluke and large weakfish most trips.

Sure .all the guys crying there are no keeper fluke around are fishing that way .

The whole time guys bucktailing are throwing back 20" fish because we are catching better quality fish .

Day in day out a good bucktailer will outfish a bait dragger 5/1

I have to agree and 40 or so years ago (1978) I was using Loran and compass to navigate and a had flash fish finder that looked like a wall clock. It would be foolish to ignore innovation for the sake of nostalgia but hey, to each his own.
