Bite was weird today. We still caught a little over 50, but it was tough on us. Missed a bunch.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I’ll try them out this weekend! Back in the day I would fish where the Ferguson power plant discharged in to the lake. Any catfish bait would catch you channels all day. Go pick up some large minnows and catch a variety of fish.
Another idea, take him with some worms and a bucket and catch a bunch of perch. Take those perch and use them as cut bait. I’m such a goober! He can catch the heck out of perch (which is what got him hooked into fishing to begin with) and I had just been throwing them back! Never thought about using them as bait!! Ugh

Ugh Small chuncks of bluegill works very well. I like it better than shad... I mean I am new at this, but I have caught more on bluegill than shad.

Mom, call Stubby and talk to him. He will tell you what to do and how to use his bait. Best advice you will ever get.

Stubbys is definstely the best. Be sure and get a bag of range cubes to bait is out your spot. My spots are usually close to channels and deeper water. Now i got inlaws who say i could blindly throw cubes and catch fish. I do not subscrobe to that belief and try ti be smart where i CV hum and fish. Find some blue heron along tge bank and go out to at least 15 feet deep from where they are and chum there would be a good way to choose a location. I do this in the winter especially.
