Answer 3

Many years ago in New Jersey, we would fish for blowfish (Northern Puffers)...which were excellent to eat. They were so prolific and pesky it would be difficult to get through them to catch weakfish or flounder with the squid we were using. We cut strips of white T shirt and used them to catch the blowfish...never slowed down the bite!!!
