Big M area 6/10

Nicely done. Were you stopping to graph the points, or just having at it?

Think we are going to let the Saturday crowd lay waste to it, then get in some night fishing tomorrow. Fish are eating it at night.

Nice fish, good job Quill.

great report. What's the rate of fall for the 3.8 on a quarter oz head?

I've got a milk run, just checking different spots, also looking for surface activity or shad be-bopping around.  I don't like to chug across a spot I may fish with the big motor running and the graph pinging away.

Are you going to fish the Ned at night?  If so, it will be interesting to hear how you do.

Rough estimate is about a foot per second.

Planning to. We've been catching some at night throwing it around the dock. That and a single spin. Will probably throw a jig or salt craw too.

Used to fish a lot of hair jigs at Bull at night. Not much different in terms of size or noise making potential than old reliable.

With the Keitech did they load up or hit it pretty hard??  I am having trouble keeping fish on with this bait lately

I'm not the Keitech Master than QB is, but most of my fish just load on it. You might get a soft tick, but not a jarring strike. I got a nice Fat Spot on a swimbait Sunday morning that I barely felt at all. Wipers on the other hand Knock the Snot out of it.

Fowl, same as what Ham says, they just load up, or a tick, and when it's a tick, sometimes it will go slack.  I pretty much go by the theory of since I'm fishing deep, anything that feels squirrely is a bite.  But that will lead to me setting the hook on a deep tree every once in a while.
