I had an awesome trip today with my friend Scott Thompson and his dad David. Scott wanted to give his dad a ledge fishing trip for Fathers Day because he had never had chance to fish offshore and we worked hard to make it a trip David would remember. It was a slow go for the most part as the cloudy skies,while comfortable for us, had the deep water fish scattered and on the move chasing shad most of the day. We did manage a head on collision with a few river ledge schools and made the most of what we had to work with. We ended up with about 30 keepers including a 4.5lber and a couple handfuls of 3 to 3.5lbers. Scott's dad popped a nice 6lb largemouth just to remind us who this trip was about! Nice job David!
The fish were as picky as I've seen them in a while and it seemed like every school had a different bait preference. One school wouldn't flinch unless you slow rolled a 3/4oz. Strike King Pro Model Spinnerbait, another school would smoke a 4" Sexy Spoon but wouldn't touch the 5" and the next school was just the opposite. We hit another school that were on a Shadalicious diet and of course the football jig/ Rage craw did it's share of damage throughout the day.
Great day on the water with two great guys! Enjoyed it guys, thanks!
