Great fish
Looks like you were catching them out in deep water. Any of them caught in shallow water?
All of these were caught in 8-10 feet of water approximately 100 yards from shore on some structure. Every one them came from a ring of water about 12 x 12 . A shallow flat leads out, then structure leads to deep water.
We set the trolling motor on anchor and proceeded from that single spot until we ran out of worms , #2 mustad drop shot hook, 3/16 drop shot weight 12 inches under hook. You can actually see it in that photo.
We also caught a few small catfish, which just comes with the territory.
