Do you fish for the hybrids year-round at Phantom? I started seriously fishing for them a few years ago instead of juglining for catfish and it has been a blast once I started eliminating the unproductive areas and finding the productive ones to check. Haven't tried much in the winter so looking forward to figuring out where they go. I'm betting they stay in the lower half of the lake from the island, points, and spillway and sailboat cove areas that I fish and from what I can tell, where you fish also. I've seen you several times out there but didn't know it was you at the time. You pulled up, launched the boat and then started cranking the song "I can't stop this feeling" on your speakers lol. I love that song!  Just follow my boat I catch them year round. They don't do like other hybrids on other lakes. Our lake is different. Sometimes you cant find them on the fish finder but they follow my music...Seriously. They love Ugaaah Chackaaa Gowo Gowo and Michael Jackson as well. Banging the bottom is the key with a deep diver. This time of year they really like Thriller.

Lol! I figured they behave differently at Phantom compared to other lakes. It's so muddy and what worked with a white bass guide in central Texas in clear lakes didn't pan out when I tried the same things in similiar areas such as basin of coves. My best trips always come from water under 20 feet deep so far. When I target fish on a deeper part of the structure I rarely catch anything. But maybe stiring up some mud with a bottom bouncing dd22 is the trick for deeper water for our lake. I may experiment with some downrigging baits that may get that done.
I went yesterday and found several but most of them were disinterested in tactics in deeper water but hoping the cool front and strong wind changes were turning them off temporarily.
