Pink/Purple Bent Rod Jigs with brass head did the trick for me last year, caught some real fresh chum with them.
I normally just smoke them, but my neighbor makes great fish cakes with them

not close for the year. close for part of the season. You gotta read the closures very carefully.

I was there on the weekend.  There were only the odd ones in there.  They will start to show in greater numbers over the next few weeks.

No, but keep your eyes out for in season changes as there could be a change coming if the chum do not.

Makes sense.  Are they not arriving in other systems as well?
