I've had the boat up to Scofield three times in the past four weeks.
The fishing is very fast for under-the-slot Cutts. We averaged 101 fish per trip with the highest being 121 last Saturday for my father and me.
Only a very small percentage were 18"+. I did catch one 20" cutt that had the chub-eating shoulders Saturday. Fishing was too busy to keep the cameras ready so he went back in the water before we snapped a photo.
The recipe for success seems pretty simple: Use chub cut bait to tip your favorite lure with a hook. Reel in fish.
About 11AM there was a significant appearance of the Power Squadron, but that didn't seem to slow the fishing even a little bit.
