One problem I have catching RES out of my main pond is it is hard keeping a BG off the hook long enough for the RES to get there. Last few days it has been fish on almost as soon as the bait hits the water. Have to get it down past the BG for any chance for the RES to get it.
Not a bad problem to have.
Shorty I have started using the casting bubble and it works well to get the bait down on the bottom out there a ways. Always had trouble casting the small jigs to where I wanted before.
