25 and red.

Steady 5-10 South wind , 5-6 inches of water visibility, water temp 66. Not much tide in the morning, rising in the afternoon.
Went to the twin pipeline area (lake john , 4 horse, round lake, pintail flat) . Slow all morning with only a few trout and a red. Mid afternoon I found them about 10 feet off of the bank on the lee side. Moved up and down the same bank (between 10-100 feet off) and put 25 in the box. 5 trout over 16 were all caught close to the bank in different spots. The smaller ones were all caught farther off the bank. Spartacus (black ) matrix shad with chartreuse tail and berkley gulp new penny shrimp 6' inches under a cork.
EDIT- Was in 6-7 ' of water .

Uh, excuse me sir, but that's a vortex shad, not a matrix. Only vortex has the different color tail.

Seriously though, thanks for the report I was debating making Delacroix trip. And the black/chartreuse vortex is my go to bait.

Hell of a catch. Way to get it done. One question: why only 6 inches under a popping cork? I've gone 16-18 in shallow ponds for reds but that's about as short a leader as I've ever used.
