One of the things I look for is a good "ambush" spot. This time of year the fish will come in shallow at night to feed. I would work the bait close to the shore and around points with some good cover where a pig can hide, then when she sees a slow moving target come by...but definately you need to put your time in.I have my days where I throw a big bait all night and get nothing and sometimes I get 4 in one hour. Confidence and throw it over and over, try dead sticking it too sometimes it will produce better than swimming it. Just experiment different ways,sometimes they want it fast,sometimes slow or not moving at all.Keep trying because the reward is well worth it when you do get a good fish on it!
