Anybody help a weekender?

Thank you for sharing, Gobucks. Wife and I were out in the same area, between the monument and Kelly's, pulling Bandits in 45' of water heading NE with the (small) waves. We fished 1:30-4:30 and put 6 hogs in livewell, none milking or visibly full of eggs. We lost two that managed to get unhooked on the way in. Best leads were 40-55 unassisted. Caught nothing deep. Water was much clearer than I expected - was able to see the prop pretty easily. RC Crush and Seasick Frog were by far the best producers. Nothing on chromes. I was running much slower, 1.1-1.6 so perhaps I should have been going faster. I know that generally you want to troll with the current, which hopefully is the same as the waves. Yesterday, it seemed the current was going in a direction different than the waves but I couldn't be certain and didn't find a pattern that triggered them to bite. If anyone wants to share how we should be thinking about the current vs. waves when trolling in a 20' boat I'm all ears.

Went back out to same area today and ran same program and had 2 man limit from 8am-10am. Funny thing… .yesterday there were maybe 5 of us out there…..after yesterdays post, today, there was 100 boats when we showed up. We slept in on purpose and found it a parking lot when we got out. Coincidence??? Dunno…but if you read the posts on this site and don’t give back to others with information, tips or tricks, you should be ashamed of yourself.

60 lb bag of 12 today. All 24-26”. After we hit our limit, we were reeling lines in to go home and got 2 more 26”ers. Kinda hard to watch them swim away after catching them!
