OK I went back today 2/23 and trolled and metered for an hour or so when I got a hit mid lake by a phantom fish. 65 feet of water and my rig was at 50+-. Standard schoolie for this year. Did meter some other groups here and there but couldn't get thenm to bite. I think I might know why. At the cleaning table my guy just squirted! Kinda like T/O
. He had some nice big sperm sacks. Sooooo they are busy doing what nature tells them to do. Pre-pawn/spawn mode. He did have one small threadfin in him maybe an inch long so he wasn't feeding heavily.
That's my observation anyway. AND no skunk today!! Ceviche tonight!
