any news about the alley, ill be there this weekend

Hey Tommy, I take it your fishing that tourny you inquired about a while back. The bite has slowed way down out there over the past few months. A combination of higher water, more traffic due to good fishing reports, and high heat have made geting a bite much tougher. The fish are there, however different tactics are working now than last time you asked. The fish have gone deep, and they have a very lazy non-aggressive bite. What does that mean? Fish slow, fish deep. Large T-rigged worms are the ticket, along with jig n' craw. Or you can beat the banks all day with a senko and pull in dinks, I'll leave that up to you. If you fish deeper then here's the tip of the day: look for the drop off usually 8-12ft away from the edge of the lily pads. I have pulled a lot of fish off that drop off while most guys have thier boat right over it casting into the pads all day. Good luck PM me if I can offer you any other help.

4-5" Swim baits in the deeper canal areas should work too. You will get only a few bites fishing this way, but they will be quality fish.

Everything I wrote above was verified today. Fished for a few hours (9:30-12:30) today at MM35 with same results. I caught 6 in this time. 4 came from deeper water and all came in between 1lb-2.5lbs. Threw a senko fo 15 minutes and caught 2 dinks, put it back in the box and went back to deeper water.

Pray you have clouds, wind, rain, or all of the above. Today was sunny with no wind. It was hot as heck and the laziest, slowest bite I've seen all year.

ok thanks ill try that.
