6/26/2014 3:48:00 PMWe didn't have any very big ones, either, just in the 12-16 inch range. The biggest producer was a Cotton Cordell Grappler Shad in perch color, diving to around 10-15 feet. The other crank that did okay was a small jointed Rapala in a brown color. We had found one spot about a quarter mile long that was continuously producing fish, but anywhere past that there were little to no bites, so we just trolled back and forth through this one stretch.

6/27/2014 10:02:00 AMWe've had the same experience there also. My wife had just a jig and a worm on and we were slowly drifting the same area. At that time there was a line of weeds and we were just on the outer edge of it at 13'. She would get bit on every pass but I wouldn't on the opposite side of the boat. Turn around and go back and then I'd get hit on the way back. We figured they were back in the weeds and then coming out to nail the bait. When the sun popped over the hill everything stopped.
