This weekend, I marked at least two dozen brush piles on Quachita while trolling. I didn't catch anything. But, now I have some holes to check on through out the year. Some guys spider rig, others use jigs exclusively, some use minners, some use minners and jigs, while some tightline when others use a cork.
Bottom line is to concentrate on the trip and the fishing. The catching will come. Read up on some of the methods mentioned through a search on this sight. Try what sparks your interest until you find your MOJO.
