I saw fish there a few days ago. I will try for them in the next week or two. Probably try some blood worms around that area and see what happens.

Not to mention I threw ever lure I had at them..

If it is any help - often a fresh chunk ( steak ) about 3/4 inch wide fished on bottom will get a bite.

Use a fish finder set up and 1-2 oz weight with 3-5 foot leader. Let down slowly and once weight hits - pull out 5-10 feet of slack line.

Key is for bait to lay on bottom uneffected by boat moving from waves / wakes.

Rebait with fresh every 15 minutes or so.

Crazy way to get them but it does work.

Have to concur with Skip on that one...

Once the chum starts moving, a good slice 1/4 to 3/4 wide of whatever (meat) is available works...

The trick really is getting the bait off the bottom far enough for the fish to be able to swim under it....And although I could use the same piece of bait all day, its true fresh bait gets fish, old bait gets you nothing...
