I went out Saturday morning trolling the main channel near Cast Away and boxed up a couple schoolies. There were some excellent bait screens from time to time, but stripes were scarce. Those we marked were still deep.
The bad news is that we saw four floaters in as many hours of fishing. Two appeared to be fresh since their eyes were clear. The other two were in varying stages of decomposition, but didn't look to be over a few days old. The smallest was 3-4 lbs. and the others were typical 6-8 lb. schoolies.

Released fish? I doubt it very much.
