The fish were busting shad and were aroung 10 ft deep in 18 to 24 ft of water.Many strikes got off beforwe I could even get the rod out of the holder.These lures run about 9 ft deep, and I was trolling about 3 miles per hour. My 5HP Nissan 4 strke did the job, trolled just over 3 hours anf burned about a gallon of gas.Since the water here had some color stayed with bright green and silver, tried the old stand by blue ladder back, just one hit.HMMM wonder if they will be there tommorow morning?
