Took some family up to the lake hoping to weed through the little guys. Got a later start than normal but put fish in the boat right away. Switched spots in search of the adults. I was almost ready to give up and switch to bass when we dropped the downriggers way down... scrapping the bottom low, below where we were marking the fish low. Well, it worked and big ones started stacking up in the cooler. The bite lasted over an hour before shutting off again at the same time the wind hit hard. Colors didn't seem to matter. We switched things up a couple times because of tangled leaders and saw no difference in action. Sling blades and hoochies tipped with corn. Ended with thirteen on 2 downriggers. Most fish were 14-15" with one over 16. The cooler shot was not at the end of the day. FYI Downrigger balls stuck on the bottom are not much fun... in case you didn't know :lol:
