Been tipping with minnows for 2 or 3 months now, so I modified to drag the minnows shallow to keep them
Alive with my rod at about 45 degrees.

If you’re observing a LS fisherman, you won’t see them catch many unless you keep your eyes on them. Many swing and lift with little movement or noise.
I spoke to several as they stopped to see what I was catching, their performance on The Rez had them commenting "at least I was getting some action". Most were gone before 10am unless they started late. From that I would assume I was one of the only ones catching. By 2pm nobody by big Ranger bass boats were still on the water. The Ranger guys would meet up then go in different directions back to fishing, all 3 days.
