Last year similar trips with the same setup and same locations were yielding 10-20 fish/trip

Last year and the year before the yellow bass were as thick as black flies in Canada, not this year, same with hybrid stripers, almost none.

Seem to be catching more big ditch pickles.

fewer catfish too, and the few eaters that I've kept, their bellies are full of zebra mussels.

I'm running PICO's, Bandits, Jenko's, and Arkies.

60 to 110 ft of line out with 6 rods until I find the right depth.

Hard to believe the returns on the helix because the finder returns are FULL of carp.

Maybe the fall will be better.
