I have some decent staging spots if the bed thing isn't happening. I even bought a huge ass net just in case we find a toad! Shawn is always on fish. Good enough to beat me in our tourney out there even with a 7 in the livewell (well almost 7).

I know that you have a great deep bite Shawn. I did manage to figure it out late last summer and ready for it to happen again. Now that I don't have to take my roommate out trout fishing anymore I will be strictly bass again. And I have had zero bites on the Platinum also. It's just to crazy for those fish I think. I'll stick with what I know works out there for now I guess. I lost a solid 12ish bass in the fall on the front half of the lake. Partly cloudy day and she wanted it before it got dark but she was a little boat shy. Went back as soon as it got dark and she nailed it. I didn't have a net at that time (I know stupid me) and lost it at the boat. Now I have the "el gigante" Halibut sized net so no more lost fish at the boat.
