Re: Lake Hocrapon
I like the nickname. Lol. It caught crap on that lake for 4 years until I learned how to fish it. Don't stop trying. I don't do much bait fishing there any more, but most of the summer success I had was from double anchoring on or off structure in 15 to 25 feet of water. I would put out two herring on slip bobbers, one on a live line and one on a down rod. Once I got an idea of where the fish were, I'd adjust accordingly. Late June-Aug are low-light affairs. You really only have a few hours in the morning that fish are going to be active, from like 5am to 8am. Al the other action will be at dusk and after dark. The last two years my buddy has asked me to take him out for stripers on his b-day on July 15th and we fish at dusk and after dark and we smacked them both times doing what I just said. I'd happily share a couple spots that were shared to me and a another trick that will up your odds if you shoot me a PM.
