Snapper Blues for Fluke

[nutleysigns]

I love using snappers for bait, get to the boat an hour early. Use tiny lures like a Kastmaster bring an aerator. I also mix some tuna fish in water & chum for the snappers ... GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Can you catch the snappers right where the boats are docked?

Sunday I caught one off the front of the boat at the dock. I saved it on ice until the bite slowed down. Put it on whole and dropped down. Within 5 seconds I had a bite and my first keeper of the day. I'm definitely bringing a sabiki rig for the rest of the season.

Yes and that is what some people will do.. Arrive early and fish for them on or around the boat.

a sponser in Atlantic Highlands told my Father in law he could not fish for snappers from the bow at the dock a few years ago, he has not been back since

Snappers, dead or alive, are the ticket when they are in season. Fluke can't resist them. Also, when the spots come in, usually in the surf, fluke candy. Don't be afraid to fish them whole, bigger the better!

Sabiki rig tipped with cut spearing works every time....

Cut a few spearing up and chum the water....

An aerator is a MUST to keep them alive....

I like to use them on the first drop of the morning and at slack tide....
