I'm planning to try somethings outside the box (for me anyways) this year just to improve my skills and confidence in different types of ways to put fish in the boat. I was given 8 NIB DD22's so I figured perfect opportunity to learn something else.

It's a pretty straight forward approach. What type of tips are you looking for?

Get a reel that holds lots of line with a good speed ratio for once you hook up!

Also a rod that lets you feel exactly what that crankbait is hitting rather it be rock, gravel, hard bottomm, or mud!

..... and a good net cause you can catch some giants doing this

good info there



Nothing more fun then seeing a 8lb fish jumping 150 yards behind the boat.

Yeah, but it sure sux reeling them in!

LMAOOOO been there done that.

What size line? Casting is not as important since you are using a motor to let line out.

I use 10 and 12 pound fluoro exclusively. Mono will work fine, too.

This. I also throw mine on a 7'11" cranking rod and kneel and reel. Probably not necessary but I have had my success this way. Also, make sure you have a net handy.

Thanks for the info guys. How do you choose a location to fish? Near creeks,deep flats etc. I suppose 15-25 FOW depending on lure selection.
