I would like to start out by thanking MGB for sharing some awesome info on jigging for troutskies.
On 8/6 I tried out a new summer time technique for pulling up some nice cutthroats. At first light we were scanning the bottom for any sizeable schools to drop down on. Not finding any encouraging numbers of fish, I wasted the first hour of prime fishing cruising around the bay looking for "The Spot". I was finally rewarded when the whole bottom lit up on my fishfinder. At 49 feet we finally found the motherload. Fishing was absolutely awesome as long as the school was under you, they would move in and out quite a bit during the morning but it was never very long in between one school moving out and the next one moving in.
We ended up with around 40 fish,the biggest one being a fat four pounder and several of them right at 20 inches.
Thanks again Mike, We had a blast.
