I will say this Tim. If you locate the bait concentration before 7:45pm you will hardly see a single fish with them. But at 7:45 to 8 pm the fish starting showing up in huge numbers and by 8:15 my side image looked like Twok. The fish know where that bait is snd will return right at dusk to feed. The evening bite is much much better in the summer I can guarantee you that much. Hope you get into em buddy!! Stay tuned Chris, I will let you know how it goes...

Big ol skunk tonight Chris. Found the bait thick as could be in 14 to 18 feet of water on a wind blown ledge. After sundown we marked lots of fish under them but couldn't get them to bite. Had an east wind so I don't know if they didn't like the wind or if it was something else. The bait were up high and the fish we marked were on the bottom. Nothing in between which told me they were not feeding. Oh well. We'll get em next time...

Happens to us all Tim. Thatโs why itโs called fishing and not catching buddy. We were fishing a big flat and there was about 2 ft of Thermocline in the area. Weโre gonna fish this evening with my wife so keeping my fingers crossed I can find some hungry fish so she can get in on some action. Be really cool if she could catch a big fish but they are hard to come by.

Thanks Tim. Wind looks to be 8 mph which is a little less than optimal but will hopefully be enough to get the fish going. I prefer 12-15 but gotta work with what Mother Nature gives us. Iโm hoping I can get bait easy so I have enough time to go scan 3 or 4 areas for 30-45 minutes before I choose our spot. Good luck amigo!๐๐๐

Scratch thatโฆwife just saw tomorrowโs forecast and asked if we could go tomorrow night instead. Big wind change with wind turning out of the north at 5 mph. Not good! But weโll see if we can get lucky anywayโฆ

I didn't make it last night either. Today is my daughters graduation party. She just finished her sonography degree and she has two jobs! I'm gonna be out of town all week next week. Might be able to get a trip in tomorrow. We'll see...

We stayed home again Saturday night as my wife wasnโt feeling well Tim. We might try Sunday morning if the weather cooperates. Then again, might just stay home and work on the boat and get my my gear in order.
