Between the south wind - rain - and water tempurature it hasnt been like the past 2 years . No limits yet but only fished from a party boat for fluke - 2 skunks - with only shorts and jmurr eats - the uglier the better and 2 decsent trips . Only seen extreme sharpies catching limits/fish on bucktails and boat bait is out fishing bucktails in general . I am a hack and googan
As far as bait - here is my theroy - Fins-s is correct - no regular little guys - rain fish - killies - or peanuts - ( I have seen them in full bellies of ling-and sea bass off-shore though ) and the flukies are spitting up teenie weenie crabbies in-shore/ within 3 miles approx.- RRRRR.
My theroy and just IMHO - we have a different body of little guys which I am going to try and match tomorrow - still a couple of days left for the summer of "George" . More little sea bass, blackfish , Spot , Kingfish, minnie flukies and sundials around , Why - no bluefish to devour everything in-site . I have noticed red/white , green/white , pink/white teasers and darker colors are working better . Also the pink, chartruese, nuclear anything , white and glow gulp working better as of now.
Boat bait of spearing and squid ( which you should bring if you can ) on a rental rod with just 1 hook and 3 ft leader is doing well . Hey guys its fishing and I will not give up just yet .
Good Luck - Be well - Be safe out there this crazy time of bumper boats out there - RRRRRRRRRR - hook em and cook em
