thursday/friday dale.

Started turkey day with a few decent fish, the big winds had me cornered, but managed several. I struggled friday morning with some people i took out, after mid day we began boating fish, my biggest today was 4.7 still under but heavy. With 3 of us at it we boated 12 fish.
After lunch i recalled the advice smally7 posted about fishing shallower it paid off with that big one an several others.
Water was 57 late friday, will drop at least a couple degrees by sun. there is good color for Dale,
our fish were from tropper/Hendricks, 3 spots, some on the bottom some drifting, big fish was on the bottom ( thats pulled up tied down fan the area with live bait)
(livebait)

First of all Never fished live bait. how do you rig up your rods? And how many do you have to be fishing at once?
Thanks

i use the same set up for both drifting and or bottom fishing, Drifting
a 3/0 abrerdeen eagle claw wire hook, with a split shot (#6/#8 I think) about 18 inches above the hook. same set up on the bottom. some times drifting no weight,
always use a spining rod. 8lb test

tenn is 3 pole limit
