deep

Method

put the worms on the wood structure off the shelves. And managed to pick a few off of the deeper end of it. If we didn't find them at the normal places we would cast straight out twards the center of the lake from those places with deep divers and would find them there.

Comments

the gizzard shad are schooling in the center of the upper lake arm and there are alot of bass chasing them if you can keep up with them.
