Any snappers in Atlantic Highlands?

[Blackfish Doug]

I'm looking to try to get some live Snappers for Fluke Tomorrow AM. I was thinking about getting down to the boat early & try to get some with my sabiki rig. I know there are snappers in Brielle. I'm just sure if they are there in Atlantic Highlands yet. I just wanted to know if it's worth the trouble of bringing another rod just for them.

Thanks for the quick comeback I just wanted to make sure it was worth my time.

Plenty of them and they are the perfect size now.

Got some on Sunday. Sabikis should work but after a while they would only hit the sabiki with a small amount of minnow chunks on the hooks. How do you guys keep them alive ? I put them in my bucket with aerator and they seemed to have died very quickly.

[Blackfish Doug]

I use a big aerator I keep my bucket in as much shade as possible & I frequently change the water. A few cubes of Ice wont hurt either it brings the water temps down & stress levels lower. Just make sure you don't use too much ice.
