Flounder but no sheepshead, no spade fish at CBBT (Aug 16, 2014)

I was just thinking freezing them might help...but they will melt quickly in my soft cooler.

I guess, depending on the type of jelly fish you use, they are firm enough to just hook on and drop straight down. A quick google search says they are popular baits. Let us know how it goes.

Hey, maybe you'll even get a few sea turtles on them !

The round ones are tough, kinda like a clam. You can cut them and they will stay in chunks and will stay on the hook. Some people hang a couple over the side of their boats so the scent attracts the spades and also cut some in small pieces and throw them around the area in the water as chum.

You want to use the round "cannonball jellies":

Sometimes, if there are alot of jellyfish in the water, they won't eat anything else.

Managed one spade yesterday. Almost hooked a second larger one on same piling. Small bluefish, croaker to 11", small seabass, and toads as usual.

I saw only one jellyfish the whole afternoon.

You kept the spade?

I ended up releasing that one.
