IF i am in lets say 8 feet of water I throw it and let it sink to about a 5 count,
then reel it about 10 feet and stop, let it sink for a 2 count, then reel again every 5-10 feet stop for another 2 count. Many times if you are fishing over a weedbed this technique will trigger a strike on the fall or the start up again, verses just reeling it continuously |

I just vary the retrieve and let the fish tell me what they want.

One new bait I have come across that I am looking forward to using in shallow, fall waters is the Lucky Craft LV0. It's a lipless bait that runs about 1' under the surface, yet still hase plenty of weight to cast. I like it much better than the Floating Traps I used to have. I usually beef up the line as well, usually 15lb. test as I will be fishing shallow and around cover. Brad
