[Sea Eagle]

Launched at Sterling State Park and headed straight out. dropped in as soon as soon we broke 20’ and started catching fish. Ran a racetrack out to 26’. 24’ of water was best. Spoon bite with 2.5 mph +/- on the speed. Ran one side of the boat with Tadpole Diving weights and the other side with the two sizes of Big Jon mini disks. Couldn’t see any preference to presentation as both methods caught fish. We covered about 11’ to 22’ of the water column, but 14’ to 18’ seemed best. We also found that the spoons with either a chartreuse or red back were hot in that stained water we had, so more of the same spoons went down. We were one short of our limit by 10:00 and it took another two hours to punch our ticket and head in. Big bonus Sheepshead and 4-5 White Bass that went back.
