My advise is to use euro nightcrawlers, which are sold as red worms or use some form of live bait such as wax worms etc. Go to a protected cove that has water that is at least a minimum of two feet but up to any depth. Use a drop shot rig tied with a palomar knot and a medium sized split shot that is about 8-10 inches down below the hook. Put the bait on the aberdeen hook, cast and retrieve slowly. This rig is pretty weedless if you use use some finesse. If you look at my catch from yesterday you will see the shellcracker and bream that i caught using this technique. I also noticed that there were bubbles coming up from around their beds which was in about 5 feet of water. That's where i caught them. Hope this helps. The biggest one was 1 lb 4 oz.
