Here's a conrad fish, nothing special (maybe #15), but illustrative that you need to cover the water column top to bottom when you fish. Tough night, very calm and little sweep, nothing showing. Worked the jetty spot thoroughly with dannys (surface), darters (midwater) first without a touch. I was pretty sure it was empty, but felt compelled to try dredging the bottom. Drove a conrad down, worked along real slow, made about 10 cranks and pow. Telling that this fish must have watched the other plugs pass over it 30 times without interest, but when I put a conrad in front of its face...... bingo.
