I find that the rock snot problem is much worse in the summer, especially late summer. My largest fish from the bow came from under centre street bridge in Calgary in the dead of winter on a buzz bomb. He wanted it bad and took passes at it for a good 10 minutes until he finally committed. Measured out at 25 inches. I try to keep my buzz bomb within the top 10 to 12 inches of water. I find that controlling your depth of retrieve with a buzz bomb is pretty easy. Also I always toss the crappy treble hook that comes with a buzz bomb in the garbage and I like to run a Gamakatsu barbless treble. I think not having a barb helps collect less rock snot as well. Just my experience.
