    Found a bluff wall with a 35’ deep point right the wall with aggressive drop to 80+ft to the main channel. We stopped at around 50’ depth and set the hydraglow green light right off the starboard side of the boat approx 2’ deep. Allowed the bait ball generate and it started drawing in predator fish. Fished a live shiner at about 35 l’ deep. Pictured is one of 8 striper and also a random oversized crappie that took the shiners. Also had some luck fishing 30-40’ with flutter spoons. Brought up another 4 striper that way.

    Trolling 2.1mph into a headwind. Caught on the deeper side of the boat in about 28’ depth. It was one of 5 lines in the water and the only lure to pull a fish that section. 17” large mouth bass.
