Do you thump year round? Just dead sticking?

Thump only when you want to catch more fish.

Year round. doesn't always help, but never hurts

I thump all year round. It almost always brings fish in but doesn’t always make them bite… I will use it spotlocked or drifting.

Thumping while dead sticking or live baiting in water with depths of 30 feet or more seems to be the most productive

I thump in water that is 10 ft deep and catch stripers almost every cast in the spring and summer many times.

Always since I started running with a thumper on the boat....has produced fish everytime without fail.....I mean I thought Spot lock, 4 stroke motors, down scan was a game changer.......Ive tried it both starting and not starting thumping on a fishing trip....when nothing else works, thumping brings fish in and since I use a smorgabob of baits with me ever time....it puts fish in the boat without a doubt....at least for my boat it really lights up the screen.

I’ve learned a few things since we fished together last. Lol
I can say I’ve caught 100’s of stripers in shallow water in the winter at night.

[align:left][/align]Fishing has been tough sometimes on Texoma but the thumper helped Brad from Circle B Guide Service this afternoon! [Linked Image]

Spring fishing is about to kick off in earnest so get yourself a thumper… you won’t regret it!
