Believe it or not I have done that also and it does catch more fish but if a bobber is present larger BG will not touch it! I have to chunk it without a bobber to catch any bigger ones! I even tried using the small ice fishing bobbers and still no go sometimes. They are not stupid that's for sure!!

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
