Non-Fly What’s your favorite cheap flounder bait

An inch long piece of any of the various power bait impregnated worms. (bass baits). I used that bait of years to introduce kids to the pleasure of flounder fishing. Half of a worm would provide enough bait to kept 3 kids fishing and catching fish for as long as their interest lasted.
I would put those pieces on the old eagle claw bait hook (the one with the slices on the back of the hook to hold the bait) usually in a size 6 or 4. If looking to make the bait a bit longer a drop of super glue on the hook shank will keep the bait from sliding form the hook. As close to fool proof I could find for bait for kids.

My family used to have a place in tidewater on the Nehalem River. We'd run down to the bay at low tide, put out 3 crab rings, go to the beach and suck up some sand shrimp, and that's what we'd use to fish for flounder and surf perch between crab ring runs. We'd have a slip sinker and a hook with the sandworm, nothing too complex. Both are great eating fish!
Trip report. Bacon was good for two crabs, two sole, two sculpin, and six “hmmm, so what’s?” from my almost-two-year old. Kid just wants to eat sand in peace. I had fun though.
