Went out Saturday kind of got a late start, but put 6 hrs in and did pretty good! Trolling cut plug just west of the waterway just fast enough for the bait to spin, very slow approach. We didn't have downriggers either so we were long lining w/ 6 & 8oz. We had to keep a constant eye on the angle of our lines and quite often we would kick the trolling motor out of gear to let our lines catch up. Every time we had take downs was when we kicked the motor out of gear!! We were also fishing near the bottom. We had 4 takedowns 1 landed about 8# and 1 lost right at the dam boat!! He was about 16 - 18#. All in all we did pretty good.
