Any one fish those deep drop offs by bluffs?there are some nice gills down there.My favorite rig for them is easy to use and quite efdfective and fairly snag proof.Since i'm fishing water as deep as 25 ft, with rubble on the bottom, I need to keep my bait deep, but off bottom.I use a 7 ft light casting rod,20lb spider wire, and a bottom bouncer rig, the kind with the long wire at the end of it.I tie the bouncer to the main line, and then use a dropper knot about 3 ft from the bouncer, put on a small swivel, and about a 3 ft snelled no4 hook, and the bait of your choice.I use my trolling motor to keep near the drop off, and just keep on moving till i find a good concentration of fish, and work the area a little bit and move looking for anotherspot and keep going back till i have fished enough, or the water skiers start driving you into the walls, usually in the summer months its the later that occurs, dont be surprised if you hang something other than gills, if you have some crawlers, there may be some old marble eyed fish down there.
