Ive found that they slam the locks on the jaws at approx 11:00 am-ish, on the lakes i fish for em. Im up and at er early with holes drilled at first light. I fish them in shallow though, in about 4 to 10 feet, on and around weed lines on flats. I fish Newell for them quite abit, but have another slough that produces afew smashers now and again. Try spooling up with max 10lb mono, using anything small, try it all, you will figure that part out. Youve got to be forever on the change up to keep em hitting. I found that if you pre drill afew holes for your shack to slide over, you can keep em hitting as well. They get smart with seeing the same thing, in the same spot all the time. If you keep moving your shack, even 4 feet on to your other holes, the next time one comes in, its a new critter in a new spot, and he will probuably suck-er in. Try to be quiet, no stomping around etc. Ive been busted afew times in one of my shacks as well, it seems to let just abit too much light in, so ive got to kleep my face off to the side as much as i can. Have fun!!!!!
keep a strain on er.
