My advice is to throw a jig or a buzzbait. I fished as a non boater for three years in the mountain division, and the common thing I heard was to look for 2 or three bites a day from the back. At the FLW s I fished last year, the guys cashing the checks were throwing buzzbaits ALL day, or they were throwing a jig off the DEEP side of the boat. From a co-anglers standpoint, one fish a day will take you to the regional. I won the division in 2005 with a 4.2 lb average per tournament. Throwing a shakey head as a backup goes without saying.

1 fish a day may cut it in the mountain division, but I think you would want to shoot for a few more if you were fishing LBL. I do know that every once does count. It is usually only a few ounces separating a regional qualifier and someone who doesn't.
