Finding rock veins in 8-10 feet was key. Dragging tubes slowly through the rocks seemed to trigger them the most. Most bites seemed to come right after it popped free from a rock and just let it drop back down on slack line.

Fished about 12' look for rock and find the fish. Wind was from the east at about 8-10mph. The fish seemed to be in small hunting packs, you would catch a few out of a spot and then they would move on. best to keep moving and searching for that hard bottom with rock. Best technique was to make long pauses, I mean looooong. I would get it to about 8' and let it soak. sometimes it would take 10 seconds before they would take it. Ended up with about 30 in the boat, no absolute monsters, but all decent fish none the less.
