The set up the guy hooked me up with (no pun intended) at the bait shop was different to say the least. It consists of a long lead jig head that's painted and has a small hook hanging from a chain at the bottom of it, which I was advised to tip with what he called "spikes." Spikes are some type of larvae, much tougher and "rubbier" than the typical phaggot-maggot I've used.
I tried it, got a few light bites, and then got impatient. The fish seemed to be scattered and then packed into dense schools of 25-50 fish from what I saw on the graph so I threw on the smallest cranks I had that still had some diving power....and starting smacking some fish.
It was a fun time and beautiful day to be out on the water. I got some fish and some sun....nothing but smiles on my face on the drive home.
