next time throw a gold 1/2 rat-l-trap and bump bottom the whole time in the sub-impoundment. has produced a few winning stringers for me in the early spawning period.they can’t resist the loud golden shiner slapping them in the face.

if you can “see” um…
1/8 oz jig head in watermellon seed tube bait, soaked with some gulp! or berkley sauce. underhand pitch bait 3+ feet beyond the bed. hop gitzit jig slow into bed. let it sit. she won’t bite? let it sit some more. she WILL remove the tube from her bed. unlike a worm she CANNOT pick it up by the tail and simply move it.
try it.
