I guess the 1st rule would be
DO NOT TRY THIS ON CONWAY!!!!!
I pull Bandit 300's or similar baits. Any that are recommened for 12' to 15' of water. On DeGray I like the pearl with black back. I couldn't buy a bite on Nimrod with this color. I use 4 of my regular old 6 to 7 foot rods. I had to go to 12 lbs line instead of the 4 lbs I normally used. Get you a plug knocker so you can get your $5 bait back when you hang it. Spend about $200 on some baits at first. That way you will not feel bad about spending 10 or 20 everytime you go into Acadamy.
I throw two out as far as I can and put them in the rear holders. I have two other rods that have 3/4 onze egg sinkers above swivels that I set out about 30'. From the bottom bouncing and hang ups, I think I am running about 10' to 15' deep.
I use my trolling motor, starting on the lowest setting. I try to maintain about 1 to 2 mph running with the wind. I have graphs on the TM and stern. That makes it easy to pinpoint new brush that I mark with the GPS. I have returned to drop minners at these marked places and had some luck.
Other guys get more scientifical. But, this is my system.
