I'm not so sure that scup are actually such a bad problem to have. The bigger ones fight hard and are pretty good eating; I've always enjoyed catching them when I'm down at BB. As for the small ones, they should make good striper bait. Why not bring two rods the next time, catch scup wth the first and liveline with the second, like RIrockhound said? That way, you can go two for one. (Be sure to bring some scissors to cut off the top fins on the ones you liveline). And, if you are in a rocky area, you shouldn't have to go far to find stripers (although at this time of year, I'm not sure how many are in BB overall).
