Look for those clear casting bobbers and run your bait out about 30"
It will change your distance from feet to yards real easy
Clipping a small hook to the bottom wire of the bobber will also catch them as they do tend to slap at the bobber often.
I use this rig when fishing for big cat bait,I keep the really big ones for the grease

This, for garbow and everyone else, too: a way to tie on a small topwater and use it as an ersatz float.

SARG mentions the clear plastic casting bobbers some of which can be filled with water to adjust buoyancy. I like that idea. too, but this angler's idea seems even better.

If you watch all three videos in the series of this angler's approach, I bet more than a few of you (I did!) will tear up a topwater (remove its trebels) and tie on a dry fly the way he recommends. It might pull all of us who have spinning tackle sort into the fly fishing world. We suddenly have access to the huge array of various fly lures.

Really worth a watch! Brad
