Monticello is an interesting lake that is a lot like a fishbowl. Offshore structure is limited, but that tends to group the fish much better. Points scattered about the main lake can yield the best results when using the ned rig. The TRD worms can be swapped for small swim baits and can sometimes catch more fish. On the points fish can be caught from 4 to almost 30 feet depending on clarity and time of year. Fish slow and methodical as this technique is by design a proven catcher.
