striped bass

RMB - were you anchored up in a current or casting? We find, anchored in the Columbia river, that a rig on one side of the boat will catch fish while one 10' away won't (farther out or closer to the bank). The fish sometimes find a path in the water and go pretty much single file.

Definitely not arguing the point about one particular rig sometimes being nearly magic, just curious about your experience.

We were on the trolling motor in his bass boat on the local lake. Very little current if any, we haven't had much rain this fall and the lake is down a good 4 feet. We were casting KVD 6XD crainkbaits on a submerged bridge and old roadbed, 30 feet beside 8 feet of water, the bass were chasing schools of shad.

Was trolling.......and had the two same mojo's back the same distance. We figure the line just provided a slightly more enticing swim....or the rig itself.
