I have a low tech, age old successful method to give you, if you don’t already know it. When I started, I had a boat and motor, no trolling motor. I drove upwind and turned the motor all the way left or right (which ever works best for your boat) and this will let you drift sideways with the wind. Rig your rods with a minnow and split shot or jighead that’s just heavy enough to hit bottom without letting out too much line. Put the handle of the rod in a tackle box handle, fuel tank, or anything to hold it secure while you drift. Let out enough line to see the weight bouncing bottom, then turn one of the reels one turn, another two turns, until you find out how deep they are that day. Most folks use a minnow rig of some kind until they get used to it. I have added a beetle spin, curl tail jig, jig tipped with a minnow, whatever goes through your mind. You can also put a float on some. Now keep in mind that what knocks em in the head today will probably change tomorrow. This has put a lot of fish in my boat before I got into all the junk I use now. Welcome from Debary and enjoy your stay. Hopefully this will help you get a few more in the boat.
