For the whole season I had two trips when I caught an abundance of schoolies. One in May in Narr bay when 3 of us caught about 50 all under 28". The next was at the canal in August when I got 10 one morning with only 1 over 28".
Are the fish in trouble? i think they are. Clammer and Jim White specialize in schoolies. Not that they can't catch large as both of these guys are 2 of the best striper men I know. They target small fish for the sport of it. Light gear or fly rods and small offerings. Finesse (sp) small jigs, Cochoes, etc. Both of these guys will tell you emphatically that they are catching vastly fewer schoolies than they were even 6 or 7 years ago.

I'm telling you, something is up.

No boat, back in the suds.
