what you guy's do???????????
fishing lake shasta in northern cali. next week in a stren series tourn.
have a couple friends already there prefishing.
both guys said the fishing is wide open catching fish on 3 or 4 different lures but everything is the same size.
catching close to 100 fish a day on dropshot but all the fish are only 1 to 1-1/2 lbs. everything caught so for has been schooled up spots. very common for lake shasta so i hear.
question is what would you do? use a bait that you your catching alot of fish on all day in hope's of eventually catching larger fish.
or fish that bait for a couple hours to get a good limit, then switch to something else that you may not catch as many on but maybe catch 1 or 2 bigger fish??????
RE: what you guy's do???????????
Wouldn't try to hit the homerun until I had that limit. Then I would go back to try and pick off a couple bigger ones. If everyone's drpshotting, show them something different. May get lucky! Good luck regardless of choice.
RE: what you guy's do???????????
target the limit, once the limit is obtained go big, try drop shoting a 10" worm or move to a different patern, off of outside structure, swim baits or horizontal decending tubes are similar to the drop shot but have better luck on bigger fish. Good luck, go Ky fisherman
