RK, How can you tell their going up? If you were a YT wouldn't you be swimming down like hell if you knew Josh was right on top of you?

The streamer tapers from top to bottom. So yeah, it would make more sence their swimming up. Txs for the correction RK.

Gabe's correct...textbook wintertime screenshot...they're swimming down.....assuming Josh's FF is scrolling from right to left.

When the sonar first makes contact w/the fish they are in 50-65' so as the screen scrolls left the fish r moving down the watercolumn, a good sign of actively feeding fish...I'm guessing Josh saw them right away and quickly turned and dropped the iron cause I can see it falling from the surface behind the school....textbook.

Much like the surface iron, its always a good idea to have that yoyo ready to drop.....you never know when a school will swim right under the boat. In the wintertime you can spend days on the water and only get one 15sec window like that....be ready!
