Dam area 7/17

[m&m]

I was able to fish for a couple of hours in the morning. Put in at Moonshine about 6:15am. Went towards Indian Point but decided to fish the east end of the bluff and then go into the first cove. Caught a few dinks on a gp Ned.  Had a palm size sunfish on a sq bill. Shad are all over. Saw a lot of fish in the 15-25 ' range. Couldn't get them to bite. I was too lazy to tie on a drop shot. I think I will go again Tuesday morning but I will have a drop shot tied on. I headed back to the ramp at 9 dodging tubers all the way. It was fun getting out though.

Dodging tubers, and jumping wake?lol i just love it when my boat motor comes out of the water because of the swells also nothing like violently rocking side to side while you try to fish and not get ran over

Drop shot may be the ticket on those fish you saw.

Champ188, your getting old enough that a spoon or carolina rig should be your lures of choice. They are the two techniques that require the least amount of energy to catch fish.

Yup.

There's fishing and then there's "spoon fishing".

To which I usually say, "Fore!"
