He used a slip cork with no stopper. This did 2 things. It helped detect a moving line that a fish was on and it reduced hangup when reeling in an empty line by lifting the line straight up to bobber rather than dragging bottom all the way.
We were fishing right on bottom.
Look for points with clam shells on them. That's a clue that clams are there along with shellcrackers. (They feed on freshwater clams, hence the nane)
This method has worked for us. The guide would stay no longer than 30 minutes in a spot if no fish were biting.
