Kim City - Feb 2 - Deep bite

[Dock-in-it]

The deep bite is still good but the aggressive bite timeframe can be very narrow. For me the bite starts to fade out about 8:30, but I did find a good bite on Friday at 10:30 and left them biting for a Saturday trip ( but they disappeared... as usual). This morning they wanted a vertical presentation (ice jig, spoon, 1/4 oz swimbait) and they wanted the ice jig and spoon fairly still. They liked the 1/4 oz swimbait dropped straight down and they would ignore a 3/8 oz. Some fish were postured for a vertical SB but they did not seem very aggressive. Had 10 keepers , 2 SM and 8 K's. WT about 45. Lots of shad are using the 80ft range, but I normally like to settle for the limited shad in shallower water (35 - 60).

Super job still keeping them going.  Got a feeling that bite is about to break up quicker than a Cheerleader dating a Chemistry major.

I fished a few hrs this morning after the rain stopped (about 8). The fish were postured high for a swimbait and the bottom hugging fish were not interested in a ice jig or spoon. I used a 3/8oz jig head with a 3" SB and 3/8 allowed for making an extra long cast. I stayed around trees and out of the wind. There were fish in 20-30 FOW but I caught more in the 35-50 range.
