E.B's right on guy's, if their not on the bank just set a couple rods out with a double hook minnow rig {weight on bottom hooks about a foot above weight} this will allow you to pull it to you until it hits bottom keeping the wind from drifting it. Then cork/jig with another rod until you locate some fish, once you do it's on!!! We have caught the females on minnows and males on the jigs at the same time....good fishing!
