If the warm weather holds for a while- I may have to reconsider my hasty decision to put up the Outback for the winter- this is the kind of year where Rockfish will hang around- if you use meat on a fish finder rig around deep water holes, you should score a few fish- chunking bunker should produce on slow drifting- especially if you are chumming-

Once it snows a big snowfall of several inches, the water temps will drop like a rock- until that first big snow happens the cow stripers should be hanging in the 50 (+) feet of water along the channel and drop offs- when using chunks of bunker for bait, you can catch other species like big blue catfish (that might be what we are seeing as fish marking on the sonars)...Last edited by ronaultmtd; 12-20-2011, 04:09 PM."Lady Luck" 2016 Red Hibiscus Hobie Outback, Lowrance Hook2-7TS

Tuf- they definitely eat crabs, but I would fish bunker over crab- unless it is a peeler or soft shell- then I would fish the crab-"Lady Luck" 2016 Red Hibiscus Hobie Outback, Lowrance Hook2-7TS
