    Finally! I've been trying to get out to put those Keitech swimbaits I just purchased to work. I got out for a short afternoon run, spending most of my time between Browns Ravine and the dam, and I wasn't disappointed. This was the best one of the day. A 3 lb 6 oz beauty that fought like a 6 pounder. I was targeting submerged rock piles, and keeping in close contact with the bottom, sometimes bumping it off the tops of rock piles.

    Find rock piles with your side scan, use your 2d and downscan to locate fish in the rock piles. Drop down on fish and deadstick your pole.

    Full disclosure...I only had 4 hours in the morning cuz I wanted to get back in time for NFL playoffs, so my intent was to troll for some Rainbow or Kings...but after 3 hours of dragging lures and no results, I had to go bass fishing with the time I had left. I found a 100 foot long submerged ledge by the levy that was about 3 feet under water at the top and down to 8-10 feet on the drop off. Tied on the Strike King Casting Jig with a Ned Craw trailer. I set up about 25 feet away and cast to the ledge, popping my jig off the bottom back at me. This was the best of the day. 2 lb 4 oz. and my first bass for 2024. Here's to many, many more for us all!!!!
