I luv it. since buying my boat 4 yrs ago I spend most of my time either drifting or power drifting live bait.. I spend most of the morning catching bait, that in its self is more important. from about 9 till 2 is live lining, imo best time, fish have moved to deeper cooler water. most guys are burnt out about 11 and the wind has picked up, you leaving is big mistake. some of the best fisherman I know have convinced me rougher is often better,,, just like shore fishing. I try first hookin'um just the way they are.. behind the dorsal, second through the nose. Often times you know their there but there not interested and you need to think out of the box and this often takes time, which is one reason why I like fishing alone, less pressure to put fish in the boat and when you finally do there quality fish. Try to get find places that have no or little pressure this imo makes all the difference, when you first get there your on them then they spook, they still see its live bait but but I believe bass have that survival instinct no matter what you present them with unless the numbers are stupid or its at night. Its a good idea to have several productive areas that are in reasonal time away from each other so you can let fresh fish move in. glass rods, long leader & braid a must.
