Here's your answer.

The air lines are a constant problem, as you know, because they tend to float. We attach concrete blocks to the lines as anchors, but have an ongoing problem with them breaking loose. As you may remember, I asked that you only use mushroom anchors in these areas so that you don't accidentally snag an airline.

I noticed that a few of them were not on.

hey at least you caught something there.

It looks like the rain has turned the fish on, on WB. Good catch!

Thanks Tap. Those aerators are fish magnets. I need to get down that way soon.
With your side scan looking at a school of bait fish could you guess the size of the fish.

Good report Tap. Congrats on the catch! You made a good decision to stay away from Buggs... the storm didn't hit but the wind sure did...

I can only tell the difference between bait fish and fish. The bait fish look more like a cloud.

In this picture you can see fish below a school of bait fish. This fish are the white specks and the bait fish is the cloud above them.

Nice variety Tap, and way to make the best of the launch situation.
You da man.
Steelers suck.
