Yes, it was my 4th trip ever to lake Crescent & I may have finally figured some things out, in baby steps that is....Thought I would sneak attack a pre-fish Saturday...with 40 other boats I have to admit my previous outings have been a struggle to see such beauties come into weigh or the photos that have been posted, only to personally leave with my tail tucked between my legs each time. Well the day started & ended with fog, til 1pm, but the Lowrance GPS put me right where I needed to be, after a few experiments with weight distribution...to get my baits in the strike zone, you see it started with a conversation I had with a out of state CDC member while attending the Talquin Slabfest...thanks Spiderman...that these fish on Crescent hardly ever suspend & there must be too abundant of food source on the bottom to ever chase anything higher in the column that's what the fish finder's for right, well I can attest to marking other fish, but after yesterday I'm convinced only the ones on the bottom BITE...total of 25, not exactly gang bustn', but for me VERY encouraging....no 2#ers, but few 12" & (1) 13" the biggest...Note they seamed to like mother of pearl white & bubblegum color combo & also that the GPS only got me through the fog to where I have seen Vic "anchorman" & SYG fish in the past All fish released, only about 10 would have made the cut anyways...most 9"-11"

that's what the fish finder's for right, well I can attest to marking other fish, but after yesterday I'm convinced only the ones on the bottom BITE...total of 25, not exactly gang bustn', but for me VERY encouraging....no 2#ers, but few 12" & (1) 13" the biggest...Note they seamed to like mother of pearl white & bubblegum color combo & also that the GPS only got me through the fog to where I have seen Vic "anchorman" & SYG fish in the past
