I have recently started fishing again after about 7 yrs A friend and I started in late may and imediately started having success with lizards along shorelines and in shallows. Between the two of us at least 150 LM with about a dozen 3lb or larger. for the last week or so we haven't had nearly as much luck. We're in the same areas with the same or similair bait but the # of fish has gone from 8-10 fish per trip to 3-4 per trip and the size of fish has dropped. they all seem to be around a pound. Have the big ones moved to deeper water? If so any advise on how to find them would be great. I have a canoe with no electronics, so I cannot find drop-offs, piles or any other structure. also the ponds I fish are generally pretty small ( 150 or less). any advice or techniques would be appreciated!

Yes, Post spawn fish move offshore. Without electronics you can try and read the shore line. But cranks around some rocky drops. Your just going to have to do a little searching to find what structure they are one now since you cant see it VS being able to see the shore line structure you were fishing a few months ago.
