Saturday 18-21 feet deep

Got one last trip in this year to check on my river donkeys. The water has been high and muddy the last week or more, mostly due to heavy rains north of here. The level had stabilized somewhat and cleared up enough to be fishable. But the fish had moved considerably. I was catching them 18-21 feet deep on ledges with structure. Finally found these on top of a 13-14 ft deep hump. Go figure??? Why with the water colder than it previously was, and extreme cold temps coming on, would they go shallower? Plenty of baitfish where they were too. Anyhow, was glad to finally get on a few and salvage a poor day. i also lost the biggest fish of the day. Had one tangled in the net when a giant hit. Tried to lip it and got a real good look at her before she got off. Probably the best fish I had seen over there in a few years.
