That’s a great question. I’ve used 455 to look under a dock with success or seeing em on bridge pillars or standing timber. Basically stuff I can keep in the water column part of the SI. I would be curious to play with mega imagining in some of those situations though.


I’ve been using Mega but still having a hard time picking them up, will try on 455 and see if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Wow Nice catch! I mean the fish is nice too lol!

Good job buddy! If you have a smart trolling motor you can try spot locking on them once you find them and fast a nice sassy shad at them and see what happens. This time of year though they really start preferring live bait which is a pain in the butt if you are not equipped for that. BUT, if you are going to use artificial baits, just keep running underwater humps, points and ledges until you see fish up shallow and toss a bait out to them and see what happens. If you find fish and they don't hit the bait, don't be afraid to leave the fish after 15-20 casts and go look elsewhere. Often times the shallower the fish the more likely they are to hit artificial baits this time of year.
