Cape Fair 7/22

[Quillback]

I have been picking up a few fish using a Trick Worm on a Charlie Brewer 1/8 oz Spider head.  You can Texas rig the worm on the Spider head, and it's relatively snag less.  Less snaggy than a conventional Texas rig, kind of like Dave's Ned heads, they will snag up every once in a while, but it's not that bad.  And if you lose one, you aren't out much dough.  Only draw back is it's a slow drop with that 1/8 oz head.

I got a question...we are marking a lot fish on the bluffs in what I would call the 2nd ledge  in about 25 feet...about 10 to 15 yards off bluff in parts...from there it goes to a 100 feet or so...

what is best way to catch those fish?  A drop shot?  I think if we tried to drag them...we would hang up constantly...thanks for help if you reply

That's definitely dropshot territory. Some might recommend a spoon.

Thanks...I like his slider heads...have used with fish doctor for a long time.  

Raining here now...not much but enough...feels good.

We fished by the swim beach this morning and had three nice kys on a drop shot in about 20 minutes...

Thanks for reply on drop shot...that's the plan for today...I'm going to try drop shot the deeper fish on ledge and run troller...and have boys throw jigs and tubes to the bluff...will keep you posted

[wily]

Not to be a jerk but just as a sample...there are a lot of those size fish floating in main channel...we also saw a 28 inch or so walleye floating yesterday which suprised us...figured it for table fare

Drop shot working great...50 fish day at least...mostly 12 to 14 inch ky bass...some keepers though

[wily]

Most are about like this one...drop shot in about 25 feet is best.

Hard time down loading....too many blues

[Champ188]

Starting to sound something like the fish kill we had last year or the year before.

Much tougher this morning...only 2 fish in 2 hours...what a difference a day makes

Do you think that they moved from where you got them before, or were you seeing them but they weren't biting?  Just curious, I know the last couple of times I was out the fish seemed to be moving around a lot which makes it tough to stay on them.
