Back to the deep @ LP 07 08 19

Been lagging but finally got out and had to do some re thinking. Level dropped a foot - hope it's evaporation. Wasted too much time @ the island - boat vultures all over the place. Decided to troll over to the east end. Found a lot of suspended smaller fish. Most were pre spawn females and some were post spawn males. These are the fish that make excellent fish tacos - low stress feeding on aquatic insects... Got over to one spot that has been producing some very big fish - wish I would have started there. Dropped 2 big bites and then I popped a toad (11 7/8" X 15" = 2.23) - was shocked it was a male, been finding the larger females at this spot. Had to leave because of unwanted boat spying....

Found suspended fish (between 7 and 10) over 42 to 21 FOW. Surface temp was 74*F.

Great bunch of fish

Wow! I’m afraid that if I finally made it out there and fished with you, I would be super disappointed with the fish I caught back home. Ha ha ha! It would still be worth it!

Pretty fish....keep em coming...need to have something to look at while laid up...LOL.

Some great fish, as always Sonny. I’ve had a very good last week and you’re catching up on your normal thing in fine style. That big one was almost a perfect circle. Thanks.

What a hammerhead!!! WTG, Sonny!

thnx guys - appreciate the comments

Ahhh! Sonny, to be able to catch so many trophy fish and release them, must be a great feeling! Another Super Day on the water, thanks for sharing. :ThumbsUp

That 2+ is a TOAD, glad to see you back out there. Miserably hot here now, and we don’t have the morning marine layer like you guys get.

Just what are y'all feeding those monsters? LOL

Now those are truly some BIG gills.....

So you're saying you have that boat magnet on your boat too....:Rofl

Man! Those are huge. Excellent job.

Great looking fish as usual...congrats...

thnx again guys
Our heat wave is coming Stan
Like to see you do a video on your "boat magnet" SK

GREAT JOB LEDHED cant wait to get back out

Thnx BA - going to hit the plateau 1st thing. Boat vultures followed me over yesterday - think they are using binoculars... If they aint got the chubs or the Autos (w/2lb) - they might as well sit back and enjoy the show.

thanks for showing me what some big fish look like. Now I have a goal to shoot for.

Man o man, what a trip, thanks!

thnx guys
