Fished the South Point/Cedar River area. Marked a lot of fish high in the water column, but just couldn't get any fish to bite after fishing just about the whole tackle box. Decided to change up tactics and start fishing deep on the bottom. Herring stripped a #2 Needlefish, Brass/Red Head pattern and deployed the lured to the deck in about 90' of water when bam, something hammer my lure. The 15" Cutty came up all the from the bottom to the surface and battle hard, from a long way out, all the way to the boat. One bite, one fish day. It was my first day out with 10# braid spooled up on the reel with 30' of 10# mono top shot as several anglers on this site have recommended, thank you. Game changer for sure!
