Took my son out yesterday 8/13/25.. Had livewell with peanuts by 7:30am fished till 1:00 pm. We had 3 keeper fluke 20.5 in - 24 in.,two cocktail blues. Now here is the reason for my report has anyone else discovered WORMS in their fluke fillers? This is a first for me and I've been fishing this area for 65yrs.

Crap, you can thank the seal population explosion for that!! I had one in a striped bass I caught on the NH/ME border.
I won't begin to relate how many worms the inshore cod up here can have. Suffice it to say that there have been fish that I start cutting and just feed it to the crabs because of all the worms seen at first look, not worth the effort...

I'm curious how you fish the peanuts.
I've never had success with live peanuts. I've tried them on my normal dropper loop rig on a teaser, and on a long leader with a bare single hook, but usually end up cutting them the long way and fishing them like strip bait.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've used them on a simple chicken rig
Matt, I fish them on a +- 9’ leader with a snelled owner Mutu light wire circle hook 2/0 or 3/0 dependent on the time of season peanut bunker size, sometimes down to 1/0. I use a sinker slide clip either direct on the bottom or with a 12"’ to 18” length lite mono to raise the peanut off the bottom. Except for hook size this is how I drifted snappers and small kingfish for fluke and weakfish back in the day.
