hilljack,depends on the time of year.i have caught them in the middle of august,in the middle of the day in the shallow end of the lake.i have caught more at that lake in the day than night.but,have hit a good school of them and caught them almost all night.mostly it is a matter of following the channel to get into some channels.i have caught them here,and there so they can be all over it.when it gets closer time for you to get home,it will be a little easier to try to get ya on the fish depending where they are that time of year.
and oh,did i ever tell ya thanks for your service,if not,well i just did,thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
