I caught this big one off of its bed in very hot water for that time of year. I snuck to where the fish couldn’t see me and the flip the tube on her bed she ignored it for a minute but i hopped it to get her attention and then let it sit in the middle of her bed she eventually got fed up with it and ate it.

I would throw my Ned rig out off the drop off and let it sink to the bottom with the bell open. Then i would close the bell and very gently shake my rod tip and then lift it off the bottom. The Ned rig flat out catches fish not always big ones though.

I was paddling around in a canoe skipping under overhanging trees or trees that were partly submerged. I would let my wacky rig fall on slack line and then i would flip the bell once it hit the bottom. I would let it sit lift it then let it fall back down again and repeat the cycle.

I was casting underneath the shade of a bridge that had logs and sticks jammed against the pillars. I would cast my jig out there let it sink to the bottom and let it sin there on the rocks. The important thing is the shade and the timber providing cover. I would then hop hop my jig let it sink and sit for five to 10 seconds and then repeat.

I caught this bass underneath a dock at lake Logan. I would skip it underneath the dock and then let my Ned rig sink to the bottom and sit. I would then very lightly jiggle my rod tip and then very slowly lift my rod tip to drag the bait back to me. I would then let it sit and then repeat the process.

We worked the break lanes pre-fishing for a tournament in 8’ to 16’. I caught fish from one to three pounds on various Jackhammers. Lots of dead water and more high percentage spots where we didn’t get bit. A mix of weeds seemed to help, but wasn’t a sure thing. Plenty of pike so I recommend using a leader to protect your lure from getting bit off.

With the boat in 22-24fow used drop shots in 18-20' on smaller submerged points. Had to soak a ned worm on a dropshot rig to get the kicker fish.
