I actually preferr using using artificials(mostly bucktails, tins and poppers ) in the surf but sometimes use cutbait. I have managed to catch some peanut bunker using a cast net off a dock in the back bays nearby, that I used for the little snapper blues that were feeding on them. Actually using the net was much much more difficult than I anticipated and I thought it might be possable to have an instructional video posted on line. When fishing in the surf for adult blues and stripers I sometimes use frozen bunker. Thanks
