Way to adjust! That's one of my weaknesses on the water... I get hard headed sometimes with trying to catch them in the places they are supposed to be and the baits they are supposed to be hitting. I need to learn how to adjust better on the fly if my initial pattern isn't working, Well done!

Well it was still not very good fishing but at least I had one good one. I am getting a few other bites but they just pop it and nothing. Can't get them to take the big jig for some reason. Looking to have a day like you did last month instead of one good one here and there ?. Told myself I need to use my electronics more and Thought I did good last night as I was looking at my graph and saw a group of big fish on bottom so thru a swimbait back to them and bip, my luck, a BIG drum.

My son caught 4 keepers off the dock week before last between 1-4 AM. Maybe it is just a time thing and nothing to do with lures.

Yeah nights would probably be more productive but this old guy doesn't feel comfortable running around after dark, only takes one time for you to think you are somewhere you are not and your in trouble, plus I lose enough lures in daytime, could only imagine how many I would lose at night ?

Neither does this 76 yr old. He has been fishing for crappie this summer a few times on my Dock and those of a couple neighbors. He set his light out at dark and comes back and eats al my food till about midnight if the shad are running around in a cloud around the light he catches the little Devi a and puts them on a small gold hook and fishes them unweighted has caught between 80- 100 twice this year and only kept 10.each time ot of good sized ones everything happens with the crappie between 1-4 AM same time has as fishing for bass that time the shad never showed up at the light so he just did the bass
