Lots of great ideas on here. The one that works best for me is to stay away from the same spots everyone else fishes every day. Either find or make new cover and take the road less traveled. We have never really focused on the size of bait but may try that in the future. My 2 cents - fish the bottom of the piles or find structure no one else fishes on a regular basis.

On a side note, lots of great ideas here. If any of you guys would like me to, PM me your recomendation or favorite tactic with your name and I will build a best of for here and on the outdoorsman. I can put together a top 10!
