I went out on Saturday 5/24 and the two of us caught 64 schoolies. The biggest one was 26" and most fish were 23-24 inches. They all were nice and fat - plenty of baitfish.

I make my own tubes. These were trolled with worms.

Wow, that's a lot of schoolies. Where about did you catch them? I've gone out 3 times over the past week - around N River, S. River and the spit.... not a bite yet.... I am chunking mackeral and clams.... Did a little trolling w/ a spreader.... Any other suggestions ? I'm new to this area, and am looking for some hot spots around the N/S River.

We trolled slowly by the docks that run along central ave (humarock) near C and D streets, and in and around the rip and the island up near the mouth - all within the south river - we also went over towards the 3A bridge (Mary's) and fished the clam beds with good results.

I see a lot of people chunking, but they don't seem to be catching much. I've tried trolling a spreader and it just catches the weeds.

I troll my own tubes with worms. Several colors. I make them such that you can tune the tube just right so it swims naturally. A real kick on a freshwater rod and reel.

Let me know if you need more info.
