[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3591677, member: 43126"] For many years, when the channels move into the rocks on a dam to spawn (generally late May, really early June), I’ve never come back empty handed by using a simple bait holder hook (4/0-6/0) with a full night crawler crammed on it, a couple split shots (8-10” up), and a bobber (about 3-4’ from the hook). I put it anywhere from 6”-1’ off the bottom (all man made dams are pitched about the same), this works out to anywhere from 8’-12’ from the bank. I just toss it out around 15’ or so, and reel in slowly until the hook touches a rock on bottom, then toss it again about 2’ out further than that. Sorry for the excessive explanation, or if someone has already said it (I’m not reading 52 pages to see haha). This has been my go to method since I was a kid, if I just want to feel the freezer. If you’ve not tried this, give it a shot. It may still be on the tail end of the spawn, since we had some cool weather in May, but that’s a guessing game. GOOD LUCK!!! [/QUOTE]
