Stayin’ in Touch as a Cold Front Moves Through — 03 Nov. 11






I postponed today’s trip with clients due to the timing of arrival of another significant cold front. As evening neared and the winds began to slack off, I went out on Stillhouse to see if our first gulls and terns may have made it down, but found none so far.

I did some graphing…

…and found a nice school of white bass right on top of Area 921 in 39-40 of water.

Of course you can’t leave home with at least a slabbing rod on the boat even if you are just bird-watching, so I teased this school up to make a nice shot on sonar and took a screenshot simultaneously with traditional sonar (top)and with DownScan (bottom), just for comparison’s sake.

I boated 8 fish from that school in as many drops and then left them alone … but with fair warning that I’d be back!!
