YouTube .... this is how Jim Doom (Ky/Barkley Lakes Guide) does it.


In the past I've caught them drifting a 1/16oz black jighead tipped w/piece of the dark brown end of a nightcrawler (just enough to cover the hook) ... from a boat.
From the bank I've used a slip float/sinker/#4hook ... also used a small "slip sinker" & #4 hook .... both times using nightcrawler pieces.

(* slip sinker -- Bass worm fishing "bullet sinker")
