Not so sure...when there's that much bait in the water it's almost just a matter of luck.
Next time try a snag hook

A friend of mine used to guide in chatham in and around Monomoy. We ran into this a few times out there. The only thing that worked was sand eel fly's in bright colors tied in tandem. One in front of the other. Two of the identical thing that is slightly different than the forage for some reason will get the attention of a couple of fish most times per pass.
