It's been awhile since I caught a limit - so I'm happy to share it here as I check here often for tips and hints. My 9 old son and I were fishing Sunday (May 24) - we headed to Kelly Sholes on tip from Highway Bait - there were only about 15 boats in the area - with about 1/2 trolling (we were drifting). We caught two limits on 1 oz bottom bouncers, with crawler harnesses - mostly on orange, a few on silver and yellow. Fish started biting once the wind picked up that morning - we eventually had to through out the drift sock to slow down - but none the less and awesome day fishing with my son!!
