🕶make sure u carry plenty of off as bugs really bad and west nile,grab your latterns ,shrimp and nightcrawlers and try tight lineing some night cats. i use shrimp or crawdads tied one my own rig,i take a three way swivel, and tie one 2 foot of light line about 10 pound test the 2 ounce weight is attached then my 30 pound test hook line 1&a half footto my shrimp, or crawdad.so if i hang on the bottom i loose only my weight not my fish.also i use mini lite sticks as i dont have to be useing bells or missing strikes.
