I need to know what bait to use

Question

I'm going on vacation to fenwick island at assawoman bay. my goal is to catch a flounder and a sand shark ive heard that i should use squid. is that right? and what size hook should i use.

Answer 1

You might also consider live shrimp or a jig for the flounder.  That would be a more "natural" bait for them than squid. Us a 1/0 hook for the flounder and a 3/0 for the shark.

Answer 2

You can use a 1/0 hook for both species and while flounder do eat squid; sandsharks, sea robins, oyster crackers, skates and rays are all attracted to squid and they will most likely get to your bait first.

Go to this site and check out the free report for tips on flounder fishing: www.flounderbytes.com. Use a spinner rig designed for flounder or fluke to increase your chances of hooking up. One more thing, bring along some needle nose pliers... flounder have some pretty nasty teeth. Best of luck on your quest and catch a bunch!
