Rockport Report - before and after cold front

[Jmorfish]

G'Job, Cowboy.  Wish I'd been there.

If I may be so bold as to suggest a technique to a better fisherman....... in high mountain lakes where a fly and bubble get used, I was taught to SINK a casting bubble during slow times by filling it completely full of water, and maybe adding a tiny split shot.  Wet flies work great this way, but a worm rigged straight, not balled up, on a hook is a killer.

You can cast a half mile this way, and while it can take a couple of minutes to let it sink, you can then crawl the torpedo-shaped bubble right along the bottom as slow as you'd ever want.  I can't help but think that those deeper perch would clobber a rig like this; a worm with some little colored or flashy attractor, moving oh so slowly just above the sand.....

Or, maybe you just need bigger drop shot sinkers.....

As that guy says on TV..."Now, THAT'S good advice"....I don't fish from shore alot anymore, but when I do/did, by filling a bubble like Springbuck said there, can be a very productive method....distance and presentation....let it set, or twitch it, or slow reel back in...also a sunk bubble tends to not get snagged up as often as most bigger lead sinkers...
