Big Clifty 7/21-7/22

[bferg]

Got out to Big Clifty this weekend.  Man, I feel lost up there.  Lots and lots of steep shoreline and deep bluffs.  Also, it was freaking hot!  Fished Friday night and Saturday AM and had minimal success.  Did manage a few- points at the mouth of coves with big rocks on a drop shot with an Aaron's Magic Robo Worm.  Picked up quite a few 12-14 in smallies and some spots.  Nothing to brag about really.  I am impressed with the number of smallies up there.  Just with I could have found some decent sized ones (especially after seeing pictures from the Elite series this weekend!).  Every fish I caught was 15-20 feet near huge boulders on points...  WT was 90ish

Also, seemed like a strong thermocline was set up at about 20 ft.    

I am gonna put the rods up for a few weeks here...  we are deep into the dog days.

Thanks for the report, I agree, the dog days are here.  I'm ready for fall.

Great report.  Thanks

Better time of year for a snorkel and fins rather than a pole.
