Slow has been the ticket. Whatever you throw out make it hover.

Thanks for the reply would I be hovering of the bottom then like slip bobber and small sucker? or floting jighead with fathead!

These worked for me last week, jigging with a purple spoon with a grub tail(chart), chartreuse orange core moxi on a jighead. They were not big in size but they were biting also stripers and carp were inhaling these. Good Luck.

I guess a few of my spots the structure isn’t too big so I’ll start off by actively seeking them out, whether it be with a jig and minnow, or crank bait, or other, and if that works then I’ll just keep at that. But after a few lures and some time of nothing is happening then I’ll throw on a live bait rig and just let it sit there. Sometimes especially during the day it seems they just want that bait still. Best luck is a plain #2-#6 hook with 12″ lead, maybe a red bead in front of hook, but doesn’t seem to make a difference with the water clarity where I am. With larger suckers nowadays I have tried out using octopus circle 1/0 tail hooking, and extremely impressed with this presentation. Got hooked up on every take so far, only one took it a little deep but still got the hook out but I gave it way too much time to begin with.
