Thanks for all the great advice guys. This "Dan" guy sent me another something to try. I'm wondering if the tactic is questionable too?

Basically you take a minnow and clip part of it's tail fin with nail clippers. (Just a notch out of the lower portion of the fin)

Use a bobber and a split shot and drop it down.

Then you take another rod, if legal, and he says to rig a small jig, spinner, or crankbait. You throw it out and reel it in slowly towards the minnow on the other one.

The idea is it looks like a rival fish going for the minnow and creates a bite situation.

Is there any merit in this? Seems interesting.
