Are you able to catch them from the shore? Will buzz-bombs work?

Yep in fact Chums run very close to the shores, and a buzz bomb is not the preferred method for targeting them. A chartreuse corky and yarn setup will take them, so will anchovies or herring fished under a float. Those seem to be the two most popular methods for targeting them in the salt off the shore...

Thanks, what is a corky and yarn setup and is any weight required in the float setup?
