Lower End 6/25-7/2

Was down for our annual week long summer stay at the family condo near state park marina. 
 

Wife/kids/family have other agendas than fishing so was only able to fish from first light to about 10a each day. Snuck in one evening outing as well which ended up being the best fishing of the week for us. 
 

The offshore deep water stuff still kicks my butt so I was glad we were still able to find fish shallow. The most consistent bite for me ended up being secondary points where I could find some hard wood cover in about 15-20 FOW. I would use a PBJ Ned rig to find the fish, then spot lock and pick apart the cover with a football jig to find a few keepers. Fished this deal on main lake points as well with some success especially in the evening trip which was post storm cell so had the lake to myself. 
 

Spent Friday evening fishing the “Dark Side” on Taneycomo with Duane Doty from Liley’s Landing. We fished from 7:30p-11:30p. If you haven’t done that trip I highly recommend it as it was an absolute blast. 
 

Overall a fun week on the water and actually did better than we normally do for this time of year. Next year hope to figure out the deep stuff a bit more. We’ll be ready to beat the banks come fall!
