Keep moving around i finally found a area im consistently getting bit at and keep changing up baits.

I've tried several different lakes up here but I usually pick a spot and stay rooted there. Probably need to move around more.

I move every hour, and if not move recast at different depths and areas.

Thanks guys

I was fishing in the ponds switching between shrimp liver and cut bait.

Cut bait was the only thing getting pick ups, the cats were also shallow around 10 FOW.

Hey jman,

It was nice to meet you last night (my dad and I were walking out just after dark). Might head out to the function tonight. Afterall, I have done a little nightstalking myself....
