Nice man, I didn't even think a bass could go down 60 feet! I had kinda the same thing happen at my local creek only the opposite of what you said. I have a nice little spot called Penny creek, it is used by local farmers as an irrigation canal. Well, it got so low due to no rain that the bass had been trapped inside of the man area of the canal. I of course left the camera at home still hooked up to my PC. I caught 3 dinks and one nice 2 pounder within 45 minutes. I have been following advice I get on these forums and my fishing has improved so much. The water is real copper colored hence the name "Penny creek"So I used a white fluke. I read on here about throwing a fluke and working it like a Sinko, Letting it flutter as it sinks. Everyone on here says summer time means fish slow. Its amazing to me how much I have improved and The things I look for now. I am starting to realize what bass fishermen mean when they say that you will gain knowledge without even realizing it. To give you an example, I have a few spots that if the conditions are Ideal I know a bass will be sitting in this shadow or under that overhanging tree and every time like clockwork they nail it. Not sure if you are familiar with Glen Lau but he is a local bass fisherman here in Florida. He made a documentary called Bigmouth Forever(amazing video btw). He keeps a journal and when he has a good day he writes down conditions and what he used. I have just started doing that as well.
The place we are going in Alabama is called Lake Guntersville. its down the road from my father-in-laws and he is taking me. I have been but never fished it, I went with my brother in law to meet some pros a few years ago. This will be my first time fishing it.
