8/30/2016 looked like a good day to get an target brute with light winds forecast. set anchors at 6:45 am and two worm rods one for dragging and one set. 7:30 am and not a bite. decided to move which i rarely do and set anchors in 2 fow less. got an good hit dragging bottom 2nd cast but missed. then nothing and 8:30 am decided to pick up anchors and row south about 1/2 mile or so where i ice fish. set anchors at 9 am and immediately got a yellow perch on the set rod. then soon after dragging bottom landed a small sheephead. then i was catching some small yellows on the set rod and some very small bass. dragging bottom i soon landed another small sheephead and then another ten minutes later. until i left at 11:30 am the pan fish bite was slow but i did catch 7 small sheephead dragging bottom. kept 14 yellow perch and 5 whites for filleting threw back approx 10 small yellows. no sunnies at all. the cold front came through monday and was foggy on the lake until around 8 am this morning. no brute. nothing even busted water today which is really rare.
here is a pic of one of the 7 small sheephead.

excellent and same type of bottom as here . in my mind its better below the crown point bridge for those species to ticonderoga than south bay only because there is more fishing pressure in south bay. i have seen some big gar come out of south bay but there here also but noone fishes them here.
