Drifting herring trying to find some hybrid bass but only managed a couple of these guys. I have a feeling I need to use the smallest split shot I have i think I had a 1/4 ounce on.

      No worries I was off Elba point and tried for a few in front of the the yacht club. Definitely saw some schools by the yacht club though I couldn't connect.

      That is what I am told! I am going double fisted with herring and some chicken livers and let's see what works! If you don't mind me asking where did you ...more fish? Not looking to burn any spots

      I mean I lost 4 herring to some real nice hits but wasn't able to hook up with anything other than the cats. I was definitely keeping my bait too far towards ...more the bottom with the split shot on there but I was also alone and anchored which is not ideal. People have been catching them according to the chatter at the bait shops though
