Why were we thinking alike??? LOL. My next comments or bait suggestions was going to be using a throw net, netting live shad out of the lake your fishing and using them. Done it before myself but had delayed my statement. Keep me posted on your Prairie Creek chase. :cheers2Quote:

I want to pick up a net and try it, saving my pennies for a new Helix unit first though.
I think I'm going to grab some big plastic shad and try those behind eggsinkers to get the depth I need. Hopefully we can hook atleast one. Going out early in the morning, if the walleye bite is off we will try it out!
Well, We didn't get skunked atleast. We caught 2 (two..) fish trolling this morning. We caught several more white bass throwing a spinner into the herds when they were hitting topwater. so that was a fun bonus.
We pulled the baits over good piles of fish, over and over, with not much luck.
I had no confidence in what depth we were fishing. I used a chart I found online for weights/line out and depth at 1.5mph or 2mph. I used 2, 1 oz egg sinkers, and a 4-6ft leader followed up with a 7/16th oz 4" swimbait. I used the 2 oz chart to try to fish about 22-26ft. Later on I tried to drag bottom, and it seemed like I was much shallower than the chart figured. Tried to bump bottom a bit in more detail to figure out depths but couldn't really tell what was going on.
Atleast it wasn't a total failure, We found a striper!

Hey! WTG! It's a start as Stipers are hit or miss most of the time especially in Indiana. Some of your southern lakes like Cumberland have big ones, but they also have the big water too.
Do tell when you,get the chance.Quote:
