Question Dragging bait or Jigging??

I know the Fluking has been off for most this season but wondering when you do catch what has been working best. Jig/Gulp or Bait? If bait what has been doing the trick?

My last two times fluke fishing (this past Friday & Sunday) in Raritan Bay I had better success using a jig/GULP when we fished along a channel edge but when we fished the flats bait (spearing) worked better.

I'm thinking of heading out tomorrow and hopefully catch a few snappers before we leave the slip. I know someone who did well them them over the weekend.

fish are around, but it's tough. our biggest problem was keeping the small seabass and porgy off us. I never drag bait but sometimes it's def the way to go. just keep looking for them, hard to get into them consistently.

In my opinion nothing will beat small snapper blues for bait right now.. They work in the bays and rivers and out in the ocean as well... bob
