    What exactly is live lining? Are you drifting, anchored? What weight, barrel sinker or fish finder rig. I usually just fish the bottom and i am looking for other methods. Thanks in advance for any help...........

    I know that bait presentation can vary all over the map... but whats a general size for a mac/pogey/shad that I should stay under? I guess Macs are a little more slender so they can be longer, but pogeys and shad get pretty wide. Any advice/tips would be appreciated.

    Was wondering if anybody does this and how to rig the spot or perch? I have heard alot about this in the Bay area in MD and was thinking of giving it a try.
