Good thing about a new boat means that new boat records arent hard to break. Trolled the area just south of the bridge this afternoon with my son. We got in the water and to my where I decide to drop the first lure around 12:30 after going to church in the am with my wife and daughters.
First thing we did while setting the 9 rod spread without planers was snag a crab pot in 70' of water Not off to a good start. We troll for close to an hour working east west to find out where the fish were when the first pole went down. A nice fish just under 40" in the box on a green umbrella with 20oz of weight out 7 bars. We put the line back out only to have it go down again 15 minutes later with another big fish come off at the boat. Trolled another 30 minutes or so and had a 3/6 white tandem go down out 15 bars sporting only 6" shads. Fish went just over 40" and was released. Things slowed down for over an hour when we had a hard pull down on the wwb 4oz white chute. Drag was too loose and it didnt stick. That was all the action we had before heading to SPSP by 4:30.
Things noted were that all caught fish came on 6" shads as my green umbrella has a 6" tailer shad. The missed fish was the only fish to even strike a 9". Fish were caught in 60-80' of water on the western side of the deepest water. I hope to fish Tuesday or Wed weather permitting.
