Welcome to the site Lynette. You can put spinnies on copper, but you will loose some depth. When the fish are deep in August, I like to run plugs on copper. The plug will help to get you some depth.
I was in that same zone, using a lot of those baits between Holland, and Port Sheldon, and could only muster 2 fish last night. Nice job on the fish Terry.
Welcome to the site Chuck. It was blowing really hard out of the NW today. If I was to choose, I would pick a more southern port. Where are you coming from?
