Ive never tried doing that. I can see how it would work for a nightstalker who anchors in one spot. Has anybody else ever tried doing that for crappie? occasionally well fish monticello for catfish and we will sour some cracked corn in a 5 gal bucket then broadcast it around us after we anchor and fish over the side like we do for crappie.with the baits on or next to the bottom and you can catch a lot of small catfish for the fish fry using small hooks and small baits.
listen with your eyes---its the only way to beleive what you hear...
