Been here for a solid week - mainly off the boat - Wood End and Race Pt.
Have not heard of them in the Harbor yet though.
Schoolies on the bay side as well as Race Pt back beaches - which would be fun for them too.

Rich - are they really thick up there?
It was pretty spotty on this side -- only did 1/2 a box the other morning and the little fleet all looked real quite too.

I fished the NWC this weekend. Just to the North of the very NWC (deeper water, like 140) we did real well with cod and haddock, then right up on the bank we literally FILLED a large cooler with macks in short order........Seems like the inshore mack fishing has been spotty at best.......We also got a few herring in the mix.........

Jay, I watched a boat jig them up for 5-6 hours last Friday maybe 350 yards from shore. Drop it down, pull it up. Repeat.
What do you do with tinker macs? Bait?

Bait - freeze them and then rig them up later in the year.

Hey Jay - they still are around and relatively close.
Great for chunking bait now, picture the oldtimers with Penn squiggers at 5 a.m. sitting on an upside down 5 gallon bucket, soaking some fresh mack's in the Spring - some big fish caught that way.
On the other hand, Portegee's up this way have a ton of recipee's for them!
