I think they are headed for deeper water, maybe

I took a neighbor today.  He had never seen a Ned rig but it only took him a few minutes to get the hang of it.  In about 30 minutes he had me down 6-3.  I never did catch up.  He wound up with 22 and I had 19.  We did not use anything but the Ned.  We caught fish on at least 7 different colors.  Green pumpkin was maybe the best color.  There were more brown fish than anything else.  Keepers were fewer we only had 5.  I tried looking for deeper fish but could not get any bites deeper than about 12'.  There are lots of bait fish off the banks and I saw several bass cruising around like maybe they were in and out of the baitfish.  I saw 84° and 85° water all day long.

Wow 84 & 85 degrees, and it's not even June yet. It was 78 Friday night!!!

Dutch, that sounds almost exactly like our day last Thursday. I would say 80% of our fish were brown ones but our green ones, on average, were larger.  I’m headed back up tomorrow and I’m going to concentrate on deeper water and see if I can find some bigger fish.   That’s crazy to see the water 💦 that warm already, scary to think what it’s going to be in July. 😲

Yeah if it keeps on going July may find me somewhere in the Rocky mountains.

I’ll be in CO in late July for a reunion and back in CO for a wedding up by Estes Park in September.  It will be nice to be in the thin air !!  😄

Too much warmth and too many trash fish (6 drum yesterday) make me start looking at the Atlas Road Map.⛷️
