Small darters.
If, however, you really want to tong small fish day or night then a fly rod is the way to go.

small spro bucktails either chartreuse or white
small storm wildeye shads
clouser flies
I like to use low impact lures - single hook - for less damage to the schoolies

Cocahoes. Single hook with barb crushed. Best lure for catching schoolies and releasing them quickly. Trebles not good for the kids, though all crushed barbs on schhoolie lures ok. Past history has the small smack its right up there. Love the feather tail and the rattle too. Looking forward to crushing barbs on Big Fish Savage Tadpole too. Used it for bss and pickeral last year.

Bucktails is a common thread here. Never used them for the little guys, but will give it a shot in a few weeks.
