Thanks GENEC but I move spot to spot on trolling motor most of the time. I build beds in rows (about 100' apart) and not real big. These milk runs produce better and keep them from getting found and fished as hard as big piles . We use double seats on front so two jig polers can fish , not unusual to fish well over 40 spots a trip .
