On days when fish do not bait an fake baits use the most forgotten method of fishing. Dock your boat and go to the nearest dirt pile or beach area. Dig around and find a variety of insects, worms, crickets, or bugs. Most great bobber fishing can be done from shore or take out the boat. You might think the only thing you will catch is panfish but you won't. With a bobber I have caught Trout, small pike, big and small bass, and many other kinds. So on your next trip fishing, don't overlook the use of a bobber a hook and fresh dug bait.
