Brian Latimer fun fact, my Aunt lives on Lake Oneida.

Fishing our local chain has been a struggle lately.  Not getting many bites.  Because of rain, water levels are up 2ft and there is an algae bloom.  Water went from clear to heavily stained green.  I’m sure this is a shock to the fish not being use to the stained water.  Any thoughts? Should I treat this like fishing muddy water, concentrate on shallow structure and ambush points?  Bites I’m getting are in the mid-depth weeds flipping a worm.  Haven’t tried fishing deep off shore humps or ledges yet.  Wasn’t sure if the water clarity got better with depth. 

Dude that is amazing and crazy scary.  Glad you’re all good.  

Excited to hear about iCast.

Thanks for the info.  No braid backer.  I imagine it’s something internal with the drag system.  

What is everyone’s favorite go to confidence bait?

Do you have any experience with the Hybrid Hunter or like crank baits that are supposed to excel in grass?

Day 1 there were multiple 17-20lb bags.  Day 2 big bag was 14lbs, then two 11lb bags, then the rest of the weight just dropped off.
