    Well, after rechecking images of each type I'll go with schoolies but they had alot of spots and the spots were alot more prominent than usual.

    Had a mate bagged out on schoolies on Saturday in the bay, but there was at least one spotty in his bag. The pros line fishers were working a patch too and took a heap.

    Must have been a small localised school, I'd be waiting for December as well.

    Schoolies are available from August onwards. There used to be a good run of them in the Rous this time of year. The Spotties seem to run much later with the schools turning up from November onwards. The further north you go the earlier they switch on
