all depends on the lake and what you are confident in. Town Lake(LbL) I'd say boilies, Lake Austin I'd say maize. Once the water temps drop below 60 You definitely want to limit your chumming and only put enough bait out for one fish, once you start catching you can add more. I have seen more people shut a swim down by loading the bait in. For me it is usually method fishing, 1 spod of particles like maize n tigers and one or two method balls at first. Then I add one or two method balls per hour. I recast every 2-1/2 hours. Some people recast hourly. Don't over do it unless at emma long fishing for buffs otherwise you will prolly blank
