July 7 - Boards and Big Baits working north of bridge!
3 Attachment(s)
The super bite I was on for 6 weeks south of TPL ended with a Skunk last week.
With all the good reports north of the bridge, I took the same spread I have been running with boards and big baits up north to give it a shot. Since I couldn't find a crew I went solo and only ran 17 instead of 19 rods. The action on the board rods was non-stop from 7-11 when I gave up on trying to keep lines in the water and just stowed them as they came in. I ended up with 9 fish over 28" all from board rods with biggest 34 and 38". My boat rods with small lures hit just 3 unders and 3 shorts. I might try some big baits on boat rods next trip. Not a single tail was bitten off. Chart or white didn't matter. Best depth was 30-40'. It is definitely strange for July, seemed more like mid Trophy Season. |
Dont make me put the boards and trolling gear back on the boat... :eek:
It takes me over 2 hours to catch a dozen spot and 20 min to catch my rockfish and the spot arent guaranteed... :mad: Sounds like trolling is definitely more productive Great report Jason |
Had another great trip this morning... 4 overs up to 33" and 5 unders.
For those that are interested in my spread, see my previous post: http://cbangler.com/showthread.php?t=2927 Only change is that I have eliminated the mini umbmrellas with in-lines, and made the board lines a bit longer 110 down to 85. One other successful change I made today is I changed spoon spreader on board rod back 250 to a 2/3oz white bloody point tandem with 6/9" shads (that is the only 6" shad in the spread). It caught a 31" fish on the 9" shad and a 21" on the 6" shad today. I don't use any in-lines on board rods. |
