Nice catch Steven. That seems to be a typical day. Are you able to sight fish?
Hey Mark, let's hope it's typical for awhile longer at least.
No, unfortunately I'm unable to sight fish as it's both too deep and too murky of water. Last year, this time the water was clear down to about 7-8' now it's about 4'
I use a Marcum Showdown 5.6 Dual Beam sonar, which helps a lot during these times of lethargy the fish are going thru. I'm able to see the movement and be ready for the bite.
Seems the last 3 times out, they have to be provoked to bite. A dead stick approach rarely catches fish (for me) over the last few weeks as compared to earlier in the season.
They're really making me earn whatever I get and keep topside.
