Fluke Baits, Whats your Favorite?

Got Fluke on my mind today for some reason, more than 3 months away from the season here in NJ. But I’d like to hear the different opinions from along the coast.

Back Bay we would use and sell alot of

Atlantic Silverside

Menidia menidia also called spearing, slender minnow-sized with silver striped on the side, yellow-tan coloration. What we carry is frozen spearing, but during the summer/fall, they can be caught in the creeks, lagoons, and bay shallows with a cast net. An alternative bait to minnows when fluke fishing, also used to catch snapper blues in the lagoons during the summer/early fall.

Berkley Gulp New Penny Took over in the last few years along with Pink curly tail grub

Killies, Minnows, Minnies, mummichugs

Squids Cut soaked in shedder oil added to a hook with a minnow on it
All the above have been good baits for the back bay and inshore waters

DEEP WATER

Smelts or Peruvian Spearing

Strip Baits,
Fluke Belly Or Fluke Ribbons

Freash Bluefish, Bonnito, False Albacore, Even Tuna Blood line

Ok there’s some of the baits I’ve used or have seen used I know there is more but what say you guys. Thanks
