Bank fishing again

[straw hat]

The wife and I made a quick trip this morning along one of Stockton's bluffs. Pretty slow. Water temp 86, 8' visibility, water greener than 2 weeks ago. 

We caught 2 flatheads and two largemouths. One largemouth was 16" and one was 17 1/2". Both were released. All fish were caught in the 20 to 22' range.

So was this from your boat or from the bluff?

This was bank fishing from a bluff.

Do you use a slip bobber?  Is that how you know the depth?

I used a slip bobber and a 12 foot rod. The rod is marked in 2 foot increments. So the length of linbe hanging from the tip to the butt of the real is 12' and then just count the marks from the tip down through the eyes until I reach the bobber stop.  Pretty simple.

Got you.  Thanks.
