getting them deep

zooker · 06-24-06, 12:11 PM

fishing this morning on badin was a differant breed of beast. water temps were 82+ and water was stained. it rained 4+" last night, the lake level friday at 4pm was down 1.8 feet this morning at 2:30am was .3 above full. no top water bites -not even a swirl-put the horny toad up after day light got out the c-rig

i hate the rig.. 12" blue/black worm caught 2 on hump drops in 8-12 feet. i cranked the humps with a dt16 and a norman dd22 and got squat.after the sun got up i hit deep fast drops-do i know this lake or what-1/2oz gaunja colored rattle back jig with matching super chunk swimming trailer got me 4 bass- 2 keepers- and 2 brim. the biggest keeper coming in 22 feet of water just as i went to pick it up. i was pitching to shore. the bites were very very light just tentsion. they never tryied to run till the hook set just sat there..

ya i know zooker and jigs don't sound right but hey if it works do it..

They seem to be off the flats around here and down pretty deep too. I am heading out tomorrow morning, going to try jigs and drop-shot.
Is that the first time this year you have used something other than the horny toads?

i have caught them much deeper during summer. my bet is they may come up a bit but not much right now..i figure the watr temp will get up round 90+ this year here..
