9/8 report

[Mamoo]

the goal was bass  and I found a few in ventris.  Main lake points early and  after moving back in the cove I found my biggest at about 2lbs about mid way back. Drop shot was the technique that caught 8 or so in 30 fow average.  A few in 40 fow.   A lot of huge  bait balls as well and plenty of pesky perch.  A person could load up the cooler with crickets.  I may have to take my kids soon.  They were everywhere.    Not a lot of size to what I caught but was still fun.  Eventually moved into pc and zerod there.  Sun came out and I was gone!

40ft??  I assume the fish were suspended around 20? 

 

Mind if I ask if the fish were directly below you or were you casting out and retrieving your dropshot?  Seems like I can only get them to bite on dropshot if it's away from the boat and not below the boat.  I swear I have a banana in the boat somewhere giving off bad juju vibes or something.

The hook was about 12-15" off the bottom so I guess I caught them technically at about  39'.  Located them on my sonar and saw they were active and dropped vertically.  Caught most vertically and a few by casting.  I was sitting in 30-40' trolling the bank and casting and when I would see a group under me I would just open the bale vertically.  Bite would come with in about a 5 count and a few hit it on the fall.  The fish were active and moving.  If I passed over them on sonar and backed up they were gone.  It didn't last long, but I've also caught them in 40' up at rocky branch in cedar trees before.
