    Default Find em fast


    What's the best way to cover a lot of water fast and cover a lot of lures, baits and flies quickly to find what panfish want?
    My local lakes are hard to pinpoint what the perch, crappie, bluegill whatever else wants let alone find them.
    Having to fish from shore I want to cover a lot of water fast so I can focus on catching a lot, mainly yellow perch, quickly.

    I like a rooster tail as a search bait. They also make trout version, available through BPS, that are very efficient and much more weedless.

    Beetle Spins, Road Runners and Rooster Tails are the 3 go to in my book. I prefer the Beetle Spins a little more because they are a little more weedless, but all 3 work good.

    Another vote for fan casting Beetle Spins and Rooster Tails. Once you catch one, slow down and fish small plastics and live bait.

    Throw some type bladed bait . Road runners , beetle spins , stump knockers (bps brand ). Hit all lake points, then the dam , then deep ditches . Pretty much the way I search all lakes for bream .

    So throw the shiny until I at least get some hits and then start targeting with everything.

    The beetle spin sounds like a good idea, lots of weeds, lots of pads. And lots of everything to get caught up in.

    Is there a rig that will help with finding what they want once I find them?
    Maybe a small jig with 2 droppers spaced out with different
    Baits, flies and lures?
