Spent about 6 hours yesterday (Aug 28) hitting the ledges off the banks just down river from Garcia Bend. Last time out, I caught 20+ casting right on the shoreline, but they were all pretty small. So yesterday, I moved off shore about 6-10 feet just drifted with the current and fished a little deeper just off the rock ledges. The results were fantastic! I caught another 20 or so, but two of them were 2 pounds plus and the others were definitely larger than the babies I was catching last time out. For some reason the pumpkin colors weren't working, but things really picked up when I switched to the Plum Apple. Those Spotties tore up almost my entire package of that color. I'm going to have to reload. Next time out....I'll be in search of the 3-4 pounders....

Had a great day August 7. Lost count on how many I caught... Over 25 for sure. Just fishing the banks, flipping back to the shore with a slow bouncing retrieve. Only thing was they were all kind of small 8-10". After catching so many in that size range, I probably need to switch up my tactics if I want to get something larger. Would love any ideas on what that tactic might be. Did catch one diaper striper....
