Got out 3 times this last stretch off, ended up with 34 total, all fish caught on crank bait. On a sour note, lost my best bait caster over the side Tuesday morning, went back yesterday with a grappling hook, but couldn't find the damn thing, plus the fact that it was so hot you can barely breath, gave up after an hour of dragging the bottom.

Sorry to hear about your rig. I have had better luck with grappling hook and strong magnet follower set up. I've gotten back many rigs, traps and other stuff over the years. It really works. At least you had a great day fishing.

I'll try that next time I'm out there, thanks JB

Have the magnet follow apx a foot and a half behind the grappling hook.
By doing this it keeps everything down along the bottom to drag.
Good luck.
