mj, its not that its the best bait but...

i cant bring myself to cut up a legal size fluke for strip.
now and again we use searobin strip.
we usually use live snapper or baby bunker.
these peruvian spearing are absolutely massive.
we have very strict bag limits here.
i have yet to see the fluke, big or small, that can resist a live killie.
i do LOVE to fish fluke on artificials.
we also use squid strip now and again but i dont usually stick with one bait. depends on where and when im fishing.
so when all else fails nobody says no to live killies.

(also you have to see the chicken dolphin go nuts for these things).
