Thanks for all the support! I actually have the 7 inch Mambo as a go to - and nothing wanted it. Thats why its fishing...
For those of you who recommended the faster retrieve - are you taking into consideration it was dark? I was always told at night the fast slappy retrieves spook fish? I did not try a soft plastic on top, and probably should have as that sounds like a profile / depth combo I was missing.
Its just a first time out - but I certainly was angry as I left last year feeling like I was moving forward on the learning curve of that place.
