Indian Point area deep bite 3.0

[bobby b.]

As for as I can see the shad have left North Indian Creek and/or scattered or whatever they do when they are not hanging out together so I took Bill Babler's lead and started looking on the main lake today mid-day.  As indicated in Bill's most recent post bait fish were stacked up deep on the bottom in 80 - 100 fow everywhere I looked.  I really could not distinguished bass within the shad nor did I see bass above or below the bait nor could I catch one from there.  What did work was to find smaller bait balls that had bass around them.  This usually occurred in shallower water (50 -60) on the main lake flats.  They would hit the tiny fluke immediately on the drop.  WT 53 deg today.   As others have said, lots of driving around with the big motor.  Best fish was a 3.7 lb SM.

I just love the "Shallower Water part 50 to 60 foot".  Nice report Bobby.

Yep, were going tomorrow and I just told Champ188, "It's Christmas and I'm doing what I want, which is NOT fishing 100' deep.  LOL. Water must have warmed up a bit this week.  We were at SK a couple of weeks ago and it was 48 degrees.
