Put some time in slowly cruising around and watching the humminbird screen. I found three new deep water prospects I felt they were worth a waypoint.
I caught fish off of all three locations. 10 nice keepers and 5 shorts. Fish were caught from 24 to 30 ft deep verticle jigging a 1/4 oz watzit jig tipped with a crappie nibble. The fish coming up out of 30 ft of water did not survive so I am glad they were keeper size and could be brought home to eat.

Good info. Did you stay with 4 lb. test line fishing that deep? Thanks for sharing the pictures. Always enjoy your reports and pics.:ThumbsUp
Good job and good report and pixs.

Nice catch and report, Thanks for sharing.

[QUOTE=Kingfish1;2855987]Good info. Did you stay with 4 lb. test line fishing that deep?
I usually do my verticle jigging with a 8ft BnM float and fly rod topped off with 6lb line.
Good job. I fished 32' most of today til they got finicky, then went to 40. Still caught fish. Love the thump with the bigger jigs. 10/2 braid for me.
When you try to release them from down deep, try dropping them head first from about 4 or 5 feet up so they move a lot when they hit the water. We released all but one of the 11 we had today, and a Great Blue Heron got to him before we did.
Never fished that deep for em. Have to give it a shot. Thanks.
good job pantastic nice to see some good fish coming from up there
Thanks for the line info. If the current is not too strong I just might give that 6 lb. line a try.
Good report ... Deep fish!
