If it's likely that you're just going to catch schoolies in the place you're fishing, DON'T BAIT FISH!!! It's that simple. Use a light rod with small jigs, Slug-Go's or something similar with ONE HOOK. Yeah, anybody can catch schoolies all night long on seaworms or a Rebel or Yozuri with three gangs of trebles (guaranteed to take a long time to get out the fish and probably rip its face off in the process). Learn to fish single hook lures for schoolies if that's what you're likely to encounter. It's fun, it takes some skill, and it's better for both the fish and the fisherman. Just ask anyone who has had to remove a treble hook from their hand. And please don't believe that old myth that the hook rusts out in a couple of days. NO ONE has ever proven it. Put hook in hydrochloric acid and it would still take more than a couple of days to rot.
