Thanks for the reply regarding the "Deadly Dicks"....weird. As for chumming. Oftentimes, we chum for King Mackerel around here. When we do, we generally get FA's in the chum line as well as Kings.....both will actively take a fly in the chum. We have found that a "chum-fly" designed to look like a chunk of chum works like a million bucks on either species. Just free line the chum-fly back into the actual chum line. Usually a slow sinking slime line works best when doing this although we've had plenty of hookups with floaters and sinkers....give it a try on those Yankee fish. It will most likely work....Screamin' Reels......:-)
