What lure are you using??? I was there today I didn't catch a thing :(

@albertafishermen Pending on where I go and what kind of bottom it is. I'll switch it from F-18 Rapala to a Wally Diver. A few places the transition is from Mud, sand to rocky bottom with lots of debris. In the Vid there, it is primarily a muddy bottom. From Cranks, I switch it to a Pickeral Rig due to the bottom being about 4-5" of Mud. I move the bottom hook up a couple of inches just so the Minnow will still be presentable and not in the Mud...

Yes, but this hole is more primarily for Eyes. Have a couple places where I would catch way more Sauger than Eyes. Even some Saugeyes.
