Anyone have much luck using snapper blues for fluke on the party boats out of belmar?

Where is the best place to catch the snapper this time of year.

Live Snappers are one of the best baits for targeting large Fluke. They can be caught in the surf but for the most part tidal bays and rivers. Small Castmaters, Snapper Poppers and Sabiki rigs.

Problem is you need to keep them in a live well and not sure any party boats will have a live well going unelss you can make some prior arrangments.

jmurr is right! Snappers that r dead can be butterflied from the tail to the head on both sides removing the spine. I also sew the mouth shut to avoid the bait from spinning. The profile of the butterflied snapper is the same as a live one and they are deadly.

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.
