Setting up a rig off camp that includes a larger bobber and lighter colored worm or fake minnow (ie: Berkley Gulp Paddle Shad, Zoom Super Fluke or Super Fluke Jr., 5 inch Yamasenko Worm in Chart/Shad in our Retail Store) with a weight several feet up from the bait may work best to mimic a sucker minnow

In many cases, dead baits can be simply dropped on the bottom, but you can experiment with hanging them higher in the water column

Project coordination and management

My experience was that you can put up huge numbers of peacocks by stripping bugs, but hooking a giant on the fly requires focusing exclusively on the task

If your reel has a dry drag system where the washers were not lubed originally, just wipe them with a dry cloth to remove any fragments then put them back without lubing
