July 7 - Boards and Big Baits working north of bridge!
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.
