rotation of baits

[zooker]

if i am setting up to go to say highrock lake i know what colors an baits are working.

i normally have a 4 rod set up. that i rotate thru as fast as every 2 cast or chunk for an hour.. my basic set up is a shallow crankbait,a medium crankbait,a texas rigged plastic, and a spinnerbait. this does not mean thats all the rods i use..

when fishing an area such as docks the depth finder tells me how deep the water i under the boat if i am sitting in 20 feet of water i use the medium diver as it wll contact bottom more than the shallow diver. most docks on that lake are in the 8-15 feet range.. my patterns lately have been free fallin a heavy t-rigged 8" worm down vertical suports on docks.. and cranking a shallow diving crank between the docks..i have only been on this pattern for ohh i don't know try 2 months.. so i have been working a heavy worm free fallin in it on the corners. then switching and making long bank smacking cast to the bank and bringin it out on a medium retrive..the bait again depending on the depth of water.

when fishing rock piles. my additional pattern has been a carolina rigged lizard and a pnj on rock piles up to 20 feet deep..

i have had very limited laydown bites on the "rock" this year.. i keep searching for the blade bite in the laydowns but so far it has not shown up..
