HMMM? This is getting serious, so I pull out my "toy" rod loaded ;with 2lb. test Berkley XL Clear and tie on a 1/32 ounce Xmas pattern jig with a plastic body - I got a few hits and some small gills, but no serious hits or takers...but at least there was some action! I pulled out all the stops when I changed my bait to a 1/124 oz. Gitzit

No live bait? That's my ace in the hole.
