Eggs as far as bait. I would use a small jig instead in slow water. Stay hidden if your spot fishing!

good boraxed eggs are my prefered method for bait and bobber....... Don't forget about First Bite Jigs....... small black and red for summer...... and Orange/white or pink in winter.

thanks fo the tips, but i have one more question where i fish it is about 3 feet bdeep and there is virtually noi current and the water is clear. there are tons of fish in the area all at once 50-70 fish. should i down size my baits currently i have been using the dark pink prawn tails from joes, but about half of my bites are let go.also when there are that many in those conitions shoule i go to a really small bobber?

Take the 2 best and put them together. Little tiny jig under a bobber with a little piece of shrimp. That's accounted for a lot of fish for me. :bigshock:

see all u guys keep saying jigs but where im fishing the fish are about 2-3 feet under the surface and it is basically a lake so i dont think a jig would work. and what kinda shrimp are u guys using i have only used prawn tails

 

[weirdbeard]

If the water is that clear, watch your jig/bait instead of your float. With polarized glasses you should be able to see the take. The fish is simply closing his/her mouth and then letting go. Most of my fish in clear conditions like this are caught by watching the fish. Sight fishing at its best.

Use flouracarbon (sp) line and some first bite micro jigs. I haven't used them yet but heard and witnessed many times fish in about 2'-3' catching some nice fish. Just pay close attention to your bobber. if it starts to go down... reel a little bit to see if your snag if not reel til you feel the pressure and fish on!!! Hope this helps..

it is a good idea to watch the bait but most of the time i am trying to cast far nough away so i dont spook the fish. i am headed out tomorrow with eggs and prawn tails so we will see what happens. i will post a report tomorrow.

Without a doubt -- crawdad tails fresh from live crawdads.:food: Yum!
