[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 232019, member: 6657"] This is one of my favorite ways to fish in the winter. I use 3 rods (legal here) and live shiners for bait. I use a 1 1/2-2 oz. bottom bouncer weight and drift the shiners while the weight bounces off the bottom. Usually the fish (or snag) will pull the rod tip down, I don't try to lift the rod out of the holder first thing... I give the reel handle 3 or 4 good cranks to hook the fish then take the rod out of the holder to fight the fish. Sometimes though, the fish will swim along with the hook and bait in it's mouth trying to dislodge the hook without pulling the rod tip down. If I see that the rod tip isn't doing it's usual bump bump I turn the reel handle to check for a fish. It takes some practice to be successful fishing this way, but it's really fun and pretty relaxing while waiting for the fish to bite. [/QUOTE]
