I have been hearing about deep water bass forever, but with the exception of some smaller fish, I have not done very well. I don't think I have ever caught a 10 plus bass deeper than 15 feet (got a 9-7 on a jumbo shiner, in about 25 ft once).

Looking back on it, maybe I should have been concentrating on deeper water for the last 5 weeks....... wasn't catching double digit bass anywhere else anyway..... hmmmmm. Maybe next year.

In any case, I have to believe that with the cooler weather / surface temps, the hatchery trout will be staying up closer to the surface, especially immediatly following a planting, and more big bass will be coming up shallow to slam them. All I need to do is put my trout lure in front of one that's looking for an easy meal.

I would really like to believe that the bite will be turning back on in the next week or two.......

BTW Swimbait, Pablo is getting the morning fog / marine layer rolling back in every morning :-) I love it when this happens.

Peace,
Fish
