Blueback Herring
Found blueback herring relating to points. Cast and slow retrieve in 10-20 ft with a 6 gear ratio reel to catch suspended spots waiting for an easy meal. If herring weren’t present the bass weren’t either. Schooling action was the easy giveaway for productive areas. Spots could also be picked up occasionally on top water. High speed reels are key in burning a bait back in when schooling action is occurring away from your cast.
