Creek chubs.. ok, I can relate to that..
Up here in some of the creeks we get Fallfish.. I don't know if its a totally different species or not but damn, they sure look exactly like a creek chub, and are in the same places caught on the same bait/lures..
They are huge, some around 20 inches, lots over 12, and are really good game fish.
Active fighters, strong hitters..Only time I ever catch or see them is late fall /early winter..
Not sure you guys in NJ have them, but if you like fooling around with creek chubs, fish later in the season, and try and catch those big Fallfish along with the small chubs... bob
