All true, PJ. Can't speak for MA, but as for me -- detailed instructions make me sound like I really knew. Drag a crank bait that runs say 15 feet deep, sure success for something. Sounds too simple. Truth is supposed to be complex, arcane, known only to a few who can master the 2nd week in June.

Another truth, and PJ nailed it. A jig and plastic trailer can catch 'em from inches deep to however far you want to let the rig sink.
