Big bait and alot of patience.Monticello is different than most lakes, theres to many little fish so useing small baits will get mostly small fish.Driftin is better for big ones from August to December.Dont be scared of probeing thru 120 foot of water either.I like the humps that top out at 40 to 60 foot and drop off into 80 or more.Question is though are you suspended driftin or draggin the bottom?
