No.  Couple feet at most.  I have a buddy that lives near there and he goes all the time.  It’s either on or off.  Nothing in between.  He might go 5 times a week to catch it when they are on.  I don’t live close enough for that.  

           Does he do best at dark thirty until it begins to get lite and then again in the last part of daylight? Even when cloudy unless it's very, very dark clouds the bite turns off for me. The other day on the main lake Curtise and I did well all day but darker clouds and high winds kept the upper water column churned up with not much lite penetration.

I will tell you I have and only thru my own experiences will never go when the Sun’s out. Where I fish here that is a switch that turns off the fishing worse than just about any other factor but, that is this stretch of river that I have been studying pretty dang hard for 30 years now. Not trying to brag but, fishing is not easy where I’m catching these. The ironic thing is even though the fishing is tough almost always where I fish, the potential for trophy fish is high because of the Shad population mostly and that people have a hard time figuring out this dirty channelized ditch called the Lower Meramec. They don’t like the Sun though lol 😂

Man, i cannot imagine how much fun it was hooking and trying to land those things. From the few times i have caught them at LOZ i know how hard they fight. They pull like freight trains and when you finally do land one, they still fight like crazy in the boat. Good job dude!
