I started off at 200Hz…will switch back and try it again. That straight line is my sinkers.

This has been a recurring theme for the last couple of weeks. I’ve heard quite a few stories (and have first hand experience) with marking a bunch of fish, but can’t get them to bite.
My granddaughter and I fished yesterday morning and we(she) caught 6 with 4 of them being 20"-22". We had several other pull downs as well, but couldn’t get them hooked. I marked the fish 70’ deep on a drop off along the river channel. I was dropping down to the bottom and winding up 3 turns.
The bite seemed to turn off around 8:30 so we went looking. I had no problem marking fish, but getting them to bite…well, same ole story.
We were fishing live herring only.
-The size of a fish is directly proportional to the time between when it’s lost and the story is told. - Me
-What’s the best eating fish, you ask? I’ve found that for a lot people, its the ones that they happen to be able to catch, clean, and cook. - My Dad (1/13/37 - 9/27/16 I love you Pops)

Good job! Did you get any more?
I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve gone out, marked fish like crazy, and couldn’t get a nibble.

Question … What size leader are you using?
If it’s more than 17# then I would get smaller leader for picky fish … Downsize everything - leader, hooks, swivels, weight … until they start biting …
True. He has seen his share of redfish though.

True. He has seen his share of redfish though. Which are so much easier to catch. My hat is off to you guys for your expertise on this lake.

I feel your pain … We moved up here from Florida where we lived on the IRL and Redfishing was a plenty … Took several years and lots of advice from those that live here to get us where we are today and we’re still learning every day …
