87 Pound Treeline Again

We couldn’t stand it. Such good luck yesterday we had to go back after church today.  They were still there although not quite as aggressive as yesterday. They also seemed to be in a few spots rather than scattered as yesterday. Again the Yozuri was the main bait, although a red eye shad and a rattletrap caught some too. The trick was to reel it slow and then pull it fast and stop. When you stopped it they would bite. The fish seemed to be smaller today but the FOD was 5-6.

Having problems putting up the photo. EDIT: Got it to work. We used the sidefinding Humminbird depthfinder more today since the fish were more in schools. Once it was looking out into the lake and it saw a fish I thought was a bass, so I cast in that direction and sure enough I caught one. That showed me exactly what it would do. Here is a screen shot of one of our good spots that I saved to an SD card. I put it on the Microsoft Paint program and noted the fish I saw.

Oops, it will not put up either. EDIT: Got it to work also. Click on the photo to enlarge it so you can see it better.  We passed a good looking place on the way in and looked at it with the sidefinder. There were a good many fish present so we stopped to make a cast or two. We stopped, however where the fish had quit showing up. We caught nothing so we cranked up and went back to where we had seen most of the fish and sure enough, we caught 3 right away. The sidefinder is a great tool and I’m learning to use it better with each trip. We ended up with 37, the largest 5 of which weighed 21-1.
