Was out on Toledo yesterday (6/24/23) and had a blast catching them offshore on ledges, flats, and a few brush piles. Caught around 30 total with the best 5 totaling 22.80. Seems like the bigger fish are just laying tight to the bottom, caught most of the better fish today on Finatik Baits 10” Colossal Worm in Plum Texas rigged with a 1/2oz weight. Check them out at finatikbaits.com. Was rotating between a big crankbait (XD10 and C-20), Carolina rig (Finatik Baits 5” Split Tail Electric shad) , and the Big worm (Finatik baits 10”Colossal Worm Plum) depending how the fish were setup on the spot. Key spots seemed to be ledges dropping into deep water fairly quick.
The 7’2” and 7’6” heavy Suppressor are my go to rods this time of year. With the fish being deeper the heavier action really allows you to drive the hook to them. There great for throwing Carolina rigs, football jigs, and big worms.
