Looks like fun.

[@beatricecochran9533]

What kind of rig are you using.

[@edwardhorton7779]

Live bait is the only way to go. You guys caught some nice ones!

[@beebassin]

Yea we caught some on artificial but they where pretty finicky this trip. They where chasing baitfish the whole trip and nothing was turning there heads unless it was a shiner or a tuffy. There was so much baitfish I could have netted them with a net from the boat lol. They all where pretty skinny this time of year But that’s just the post spawn. Appreciate the comment!

Whats the average depths are you catching them at? Ive seen that lake drop over 130ft😅

[@beebassin]

15-25 foot. Early morning was mostly 25 foot or afternoon when they where chasing bait. But any good 15 plus drop from a rocky bank was holding them. Look for the bolders in mid day and the bait fish in the morning and afternoons!
