Night trolling maxinkuckee?

[fishinator]

With the crazy temps this weekend I think I'm going to give it a shot. Any advice?

Had a buddy that use to do that (he rarely gets out anymore), I wanna say he said the east shore and northeast shorelines trolling the rocks with cranks

Average 10 to 15 -I usually like 12 to 15 but just to the edge or over the weed bed. N.E. has been a favorite but I hardly get to fish
but will soon with retirement coming soon.

Thanks for the info guys. Going to give it a shot Saturday night. Will let you know how it goes

Fished from sundown until about 11. Got one short eye and nothing else. All the floating weeds made trolling tough.

That's Maxi, lots of floating weeds. I was there Friday night and we caught 10 shorts no keepers. Boated 4 nice smallmouth and around 15 rock bass. Maxi has been tough this year for me so far.

When you say "shorts" is this due to new regs or are these fish like ten inches or so?  Just wondering if the new regs will take a year or two before the fish get to size?

Glad you guys are getting out, they're in there just being stingy.
They're waiting for ice season I think lol.
Great report guys.

Most of the shorts I have been catching are in the 12 to 14 inch range. Only a few 15".
