Just a thought on Chubs. I fish scofild enough each yr. that the people at the gate and the CO just wave me through. Guess that is the blessing of a state parks pass. We (2-3) adv. 30+ fish each. Had one day last yr. of 86. We use white tube jugs tipped with minnow or chub. Have to buy them at sportsman cause I can't catch a chub at scofield!!! The CO checked us in july and by 9:30 we had over fifty. Let him pull in two before he had to move on. My adv. fish is in the 15-17 inch range with close to 30 4# or better. I got 2 over 6#. That is on the dig. scale. I only got 2 CHUBS in that bunch of fish. The only real time I would see a chub is when a big fish would chuck one up, then I would use that for bait. If you fish with white tipped tubes OFF THE BOTTOM, you will catch NO CHUBS. Most of our fish were cuts, 1/4 tigers hardly any bows, but NO CHUBS. None of thoes 15#+ hogs either. We fished the west side ice last Sat. and two of us got 24, a slow day. Same size fish as above with two 20"ers. Leave Scofield alone.Try the tube jugs off the bottom and miss the Chubs.
