Baitfish were in the general area but offshore. I cast this along shore and let it sink to approximately 10 feet. Steady retrieve and wam! 2 1/2 pound spotted bass.

Went back on Saturday for my second run at this lake. I had similar success as my first attempt last week. Although I caught 12, they were for some reason about a 1 pound smaller? Last week it was all 2.5 to 3 pounders and this week they were mostly in the 1.5 to 2 pound range. I was using the same tactic using a ned rig, looking for shelves and rock piles off of points. In retrospect, I think sometimes, I start creeping too close to the shoreline, and maybe I'm leaving the larger fish that are a bit further out? I tried various spinner baits, crank baits and top water lures again in the recessed areas between the points but wasn't having any action at all on those.
