| We were accidentally catching them off the beach trying for stripers at low incoming tide on teasers end of last week. I think they were all shorts though. I know there are some big ones. Try using snappers w an egg sinker off the beach by the jetty closest to penfield pavilion |

What kind of rig did you use with the live snappers? |

| I used a 5/0 octopus hook with a 1oz slip sinker to keep the fish in 1 general area. Next time I'm gonna try a small bobber . |

| Fished with live mummies again today. Caught one small fluke. The rest of the minnow were either picked off by smaller fish or eaten by crabs. Small schools of 17 inch blues are popping up in the area, but not much action with them. |

They are a minnow found in saltwater marshes and creeks and are easily trapped. They are also called Chubs, Choggies, mud minnows and killfish. |
