    we have done best with peanut bunker we cast net in the back bay. If you can keep some alive (very tough) you can get those fish that are not feeding to go after the live bait.

    Squid has been just as good if not better than the dead bunker.

    Either ballyhoo chunks or croakers if we have some in the pen.

    Depends on how much fun you want to have.

    A 5lb dolphin on a 2500 stradic is a blast. I like to toss a Storm(or similar generic) swim bait at em with a light spinner. If that doesn't work, add a piece of squid to the swimbait and they will crush it.

    Other than that, they will pretty much eat anything.
