Get some big killies using a $10 killie trap from KMart and a piece of Wonder Bread. Then follow my rig tying using LIGHT leader (12 lb) and a size 4 octo hook. Hit the buoys from #29 all the way up to #35 and try to stay in 11 feet of water or deeper the whole time. That's all I can help you with.

BTW - I used a bucktail with the hook still on last Saturday and a gulp on the hook and caught my first double header fluke-fluke. One keeper one short. So if there's no seaweed, feel free to use a hook on that bucky.

(The Wonder Bread is the first official step for the Wonder Rig to work properly)

Thanks. I'll definitely try that area. I think that's roughly where I usually fish for fluke.

What about stripers. Would trolling or casting for stripes be a waste of time or would I have a reasonable shot at landing a couple?
