The Big M 7/8/2013

[Quillback]

Started early, but not much action, got a few on a top water, fished the Ol' Monster for a while and only had a couple of bites on it.

Got out the drop shot rod, started fishing off gravel points, had good action on and off. Best bite was on the fall, I was tossing it out 25 feet or so and letting it drop, usually would get bit before it reached bottom. I did pick up a few dragging bottom or vertically fishing it, but the "fall" bite was the best. Caught around 25 12-15" spots on the DS. Zoom Finesse worms in Old Purple or Plum. Great fun on the light spinning rod.

Water temp was 83 when I left.

Always thankful for your reports. This weekend at Big M I got a couple on the redfin on points and docks, several on the ned rig near bushes. And one meanmouth on a shakey head green pumpkin worm.

I tried the DS some... but have to spend some more time with it to get confidence.

Good report as always. Sounds like a fun day. Thanks!
