So after a couple weeks of not so great luck and a long friday night out on the harbor livelining pogies with minimal success. I followed someones advice and switched to chunks. 10 minutes later and I had two keepers in the boat.

My questions is, when there are zillions of pogies in the harbor and the bass have a feast in front of them. Is livelining really a productive way to fish? It seems to me that they might have to expend just a little too much effort to get them and fresh chunks present them with that oportunistic meal that they are after. Even with a bleeding, nearly dead pogie, the livelining didn't work.

What are your thoughts?
