Use and know your electronics, side imaging is very helpful in finding schools. Look for mud bottom bays 20'-35' of water. On your side imaging the fish will look like a bunch of dots or grains of rice and on 2D sonar they will look like a upside down Christmas Tree. Park over the School and drop down to them. Jig it, twitch it, bounce it, bang it of the bottom, see what is working today, if the bite is slow tip the treble with a small minnow head. I use a braid mainline and you can tie the mono direct to the braid or use an small swivel to combine the lines. the bigger fish are normally in the bottom of the school. Good Luck!

Summer/Fall is a great time to vertical jig Rippin Raps on the humps on Lake Kebetogama. Use your electronics to locate active fish on the tops of the humps and throw back to them. Let the bait get to or almost to the bottom and give it a few rips and if you don't catch a eye right away move on to a new area or hump. 15 min tops before moving on. I like to tie a small barrel swivel between the mono and the braid. or you can tie the braid to the mono and use a snap swivel at the bait. When the fish hits, give it a second before setting the hook to let hit suck the bait into there mouth. Good Luck!
