crackers
Gabowman, That hump sounds perfect, and is just like where I catch alot of my fish. However, not all spots like that will produce for whatever reason. The trick is to find as many of these places as you can, and move from place to place till you find them feeding. Sloping points in 9-15 deep, also have produced for me, as has a flat in 10-15 feet of water bordering dropoffs and channels. The thing that really helped my cracker fishing, was finally realizing that they do not have to be spawning, in order for you to catch a mess of big ones. They just have to be feeding, sometimes you catch them with eggs, and sometimes they have spawned already. Timing is everything also. The best times for me have been july, august, sept. The hotter the better. But have caught them in dec. also, so they can be more unpredictable than a regular bream. The best spots seem to have alot of small clams the size of your fingernails, or midge larvae worms, which will escape your vision, unless you look very close in the cooler, where the fish will spit some of them up. hope I shed some light.
