I have great confidence in Jack Mackerel as YT bait; I prefer greenbacks just a bit more. A few years ago, when fishing from my skiff off LJ, bait was scarce so my buddy used a lizard fish. Caught a very nice YT on it.
Another time when bait was scarce, I chopped up a dead mack and fly-lined a chunk of it. My buddy was still fishing with our last live bait and mocked me for my stupidity. Then I immediately hooked up and landed a YT. Then I rebaited with another chunk and caught another. Meanwhile, my friend soaked his live mack and didn't catch squat. LOL
