Nice video guys! Those things get huge! I'm a x commercial fisherman turned recreational fishermen in 1989 I worked for pound net company in the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and 1 time we caught a 21 pound Great trout or weakfish

Barnegat Bay is loaded with Sedge Islands. As soon as they pinpointed where they were in the video I pulled out my Barnegat Bay chart and the bottom in that spot is exactly as portrayed. Superb video BTW, really enjoyed.

I have a ton of snapper bluefish i use for crab traps but I've heard they work for bait for flounder... Would they work?

[@neangling]

Anthony Wright they are one of my least favorite fluke (summer flounder) baits...large dead baits (squid, dogfish strips, sea robin belly, bunker strips, etc) all make better baits and a better presentation...

[@anthonywright5792]

+Northeast Angling when you cut the bunker strips should you keep the skin and scales on or take it off

[@neangling]

Anthony Wright Definitely keep the skin/scales or the bait will fall apart
