Good Day

[olbasser]

On the water between 5am and 8.  20+ fish with eight keepers ( 15/17 on golden rule).  Swim jig with paddle tail trailer.  Setting in 40ft, catching in the 20-25 ft range.  Gravel to shelf rock sloping.    Tried to keep jig about 12 inches off bottom with a swim/stop pattern.  Only thing of interest was no takers on arky with a craw trailer and best bite was on swim jig with rubber skirt vs. silicone.

That is a good day.  I was out yesterday and was whupped by the fish.  One in the boat on a spoon, and had a good largemouth get off right at the boat that bit a worm.  I was trying to find deep fish, not having much luck at it, my usual late summer tactics just aren't working, just can't find any deep fish, they seem to be moving a lot, aren't schooled up.  I may have to apply opposite psychology and fish shallow with square bills and top waters. 

Surface temps really dropped, I saw 85-86 as opposed to near 90 last week.  Seemed to have killed what top water bite there was.
