Let me help, take jig/hairy do hicky, all 8k color shades, bring in boat, put a shock cord of 10 lbs mono, maybe 12”, 6” amnesia pink (so you can see it), 4-6 lbs Seaguar gold leader….. then drop the jig do hicky off side of boat, hook an emerald shiner, nip lower quarter of tail fin, stick big old orange/yellow bobber on, and catch! Or if it’s hot, Carolina rig same/same.
Best advice, don’t let TC near your raft. If he touches it you’ll never catch again. He seems to even ruin weather patterns for years in micro climates! That guy is some kinda influence on the fishing Gods.
