Post by: Alchase on August 17, 2020, 06:56:47 AM: My sons and I hooked two while trolling Double Whammys with 1/3 night crawler threaded on both hooks for Rainbows. Both were around the corner and south of the boat ramp where a shallow finger extends out in the water.

Notice I said hooked not caught! :chuckle:
