The sea mullet will probably be waiting for you. They like small pieces of squid. Size 5 Eagle Claw already snelled hooks on a double hook bottom rig, size 4 if the sea mullet are running big. The same size 5 for the blowtoads and bring plenty of extra hooks for them. The clearer water days will be better. For the bluefish use size 2 and cut bait. Start off with mullet then switch over to bluefish for bait, just fillet them and then cut the fillets into 1 x 1 1/2 inch pieces. The bluefish rig by Sea Striker works good, I like the mono rig with the 1" floats.

The bigger fish like big puppy drum and keeper size stripers will straighten the cheap wire hooks. If you want to try your luck at one of those I'd snell some thick 5/0 to 8/0 size hooks up on heavy mono and use them on a double hook bottom rig with cut bait. For example, Owner Super Mutu 2X Circle Hook, Gamakatsu Super Nautilus, Eagle Claw Circle Sea Mid-wire in-line, VMC 3X Circle In Line. I snell them with 100 pound mono, it's hard to snell. I use needle nose pliers to hold it on the hook and form the loops, I don't use the hook eye if it's straight. You can crimp it. You have to get the pressure just right, for me with cheap crimpers it's a fairly hard squeeze with one hand 1 time. Too much the line ends up breaking at the crimp, not enough the line slips out.
