I was fishing 5 floats behind the boat all from 3 to 6 ft. deep with minners. I also was casting a 1/16 ounce tube jig (RED,YELLOW & WHITE). Jig didn't produce as much until I hit structure. I am thinking of getting a big rod holder because sometimes it can get to be a pain in the A_ _! I hung a freaken GAR and he screwed all 5 poles up. I had to cut line and tie all 5 poles just to get them done quickly.
