Just like most other fish, different baits catch better than others at certain times (seasons) and locations.

That being said, peanuts and snapper blues can be dynamite anytime! t^

 whs  but I would have to add live, JUMBO Killies.  But live doesn't really matter.  I use fresh, jumbo smelt and Gulp!
Fish out of Toms River NJ.
Call Nick for open boat, 973-417-5756, or on Channel 68.

Squid and Kills... Just my opinion.  Has always worked well. ;D
The trouble with fishing is it was better before you got there, and after you left.
When in doubt...exaggerate

Live spot if you can get em, very expensive but effective for door mats.

My suggestion would be "catch your own" Seine,cast net,Killie traps,umbrella net they all catch bait. Bring a couple of kids snapper fishing and a live well.Well worth the effort.You'll be a hero  t^ Gulp is a top producer and at times is better than bait but can be expensive. At 9-10 bucks for killies not really though.I like fresh dead baits too. Sea robbin strips or dogfish strips and they're free !Bluefish belly strips too. There are so many fluke out there. Catch your own bait then you can choose but "everything works"  ;D
