    Speaking of meat, while running out of worms, crickets, and other grubs I've caught them off chicken livers also.

It is loads of fun when you tie into a 2lb+ shellcracker on that outfit. After the spawn go to deepr water over a gravel bottom and fish with redworms or leeches right on the bottom. In late summer there will be a multitude of snails to be found around the shoreline rocks. Just gather some snails and bust them open and use the meat inside to fish in 10ft or so of water on the gravel bottom.
    Ditto only I do it on Kentucky Lake.....listen to what driller is saying as he just saved me a lot of typing.

    My best bait for chinks is baby crawfish. Rake the ditches in spring and pick them up by the handfull.
