I remember the fishing being like this 4 years ago out there. At least I think it was 07'? Anyway, couldn't find any smallies in the usual haunts so one day just for the heck of it I went out a bit deeper off the ends of my favorite docks and drop shot some whacky rigged 4" and 6" Senkos. Right on the edge of the weed beds (deep side) I got fish. It was like that for about a week and then it got normal again. That was the year the lake flooded real bad and it took a long time for it to turn over
I have been finding this in many of the lakes I have been fishing, Fish are setting in 14-20' of water, right at the bottom, or on trasitions of the drops that come off the shallow haunts. I did the exact same thing one day when we couldn't find any fish shallow. I had a wacky rigged dinger on a drop shot and flipped it to the other side of the boat, and bam! Then other times I will find them crusing around chasing fry. I love those times, when you can get the jerk bait out and just whack the crap out of 'em!
