I've caught bigger ones in the shallows at night but the monsters have always been right on the drop off at the edge of shallows. Very rarely have i caught a fifteen plus more than fifteen to twenty feet away from the ledge. but it has happened. I have caught a lot of 10+ in two to three feet of water on the lake But it was always drifting through an area that the channel snaked through.

Ive only got 9.9 on my 24 ft pontoon. high speed is definitly not a problem for me lol. I had a buddy with the same problem on his pontoon. he just bolted his to the end of broomstick and had it inside a pvc pipe with a bolt through it to hold at any position. worked pretty well. looked a little backwoods. But he didnt mind.

That would be best. just make sure its a strong aluminum piece so it doesn't rust. Or you could try bolting onto the bottom of the transom. just in front of the motor.

Whats a clicker? You cant really tight line it, but the same principle. The only time i anchor is in wind. ive always tried as small of weight as possible to avoid detection. While drifting last fall their was hardly ever a runner. and the bites looked more like bottom bouncing. it wasnt until i started holding both poles that i realized most of em were bites. my numbers on a normal night went from 4 to 14 for a three hour trip. and usually 2 to 3 10+ each night.

There usually not too far out. until your comfy numbers is the best way to go. But i usually drop out into a foot or so deeper water. It usually works out. Usually.

More often then not I use a hook unweighted. Works great for slow drifting in shallow water with a large chunk of cutbait. When i use livebait i usually hook underneath just behind the gutsack, I like to keep the line with just enough slack to let the bait swim freely but keep an eye on it. When using cutbait I throw out both lines and let them drift quite a ways out. with out any weight on the line the fish dont realize there is a problem and it can be hard to tell when you have a bite. The only time i throw a weight on is in higher current to hold the bait down or higher winds that push the boat faster. But I mostly fish lakes. So current isnt usually an issue. Hope this helps. This is the way I love to fish. But If your shore fishing and try it lighter line is necessary for distance.

I fish pleasant hill all year long. drifting cut shad across the shallow end works great. anchored mid day alond the rock wall works great in the heat of the summer. trolling in that area and from the damn to the second bay on the east side works great. also if you head up river and hit the trees within the first hundred yards work awesome right now. but the stripers are running the river all the way up to the bridge.
