"Ripe" means baking in a plastic bag the day before in the sun and then cooling...good and RIPE and the cats love um..the smelly the better.... They still hold to the hook unlike livers and others...dont gag, scares them away

Since I bring extra I always chum the area, not too much, but a few come and get it tid bits

Two rods on anchor for me, have not fished at night there...want to...lots of bulls but there are BIG channels there as welll.

From prior experience (reaching well past my days in NJ and going way south Ga, NC, TN), live lining smaller bluegills freshly caught are the BOMB! Have not tried this here, but if your looking for a great catch, well, ya know what it takes..Down South this was the preferred method for jugging and limb-lining the monster channel and flat-heat cats up to 30 lbs.

Stay away from the back of the lake...too many weeds and you will be constantly unhooking seaweed and not fish!
