Get fresh bait whenever possible.
Do not hesitate to fish whole bait as well. I hook whole herring through the eyes and let it sit on a muscle bed or rocky bottom and big fish will slurp it up. If you use pieces, the one on your hook should be larger than the chum. Chumming is important to draw and hold fish but once they are present, do not feed them too much. Since you are in a boat, watch the current carefully and make sure you chunk is moving. Slack tides can be very productive!
Good luck...
