You’re on the right track. I cast and retrieve with very light jigs. I probably don’t get as many fish as some but it’s almost always a mixed bag and I stay busy enough to make me happy. I somewhat power fish in that I turn on the tm very slow and ease my way down the bank within casting distance. If I hang up, I go back and get it. Beetle spins and rooster tails are good search baits and cover water pretty quick. Catch one on that and switch to a light jig to see who else is home. I found four bluegill beds a couple of years ago that kept me extra busy through the warmer month. I was fishing the lake Monroe and closer river areas at the time.
