@softboy360 without knowing what type of water you are fishing ,id say plastic worms, grubs, or some type of crank bait. always take some nightcrawlers with you. good luck, jay

Great video, Jay! You are absolutely right about strip pits, my fellow outdoorsman. They can be some excellent places to catch some whopper fish, not to mention the hunting opportunities. I love how you show folks the difficulties of traversing the edges of those pits. It can be tricky, due to the nature of the mining activities that caused the gradient of the slopes. Great ending with a nice catch for your fish fry. Where do you get your music? It sounds great! Happy fishin', Jay!
