Shopping List:

4 pound test Maxima line
3 to 4 pound test leader
Size 12 Swivels Gold or Bronze*
1/2 to 3/4 ounce Steel Egg Sinkers

BAITS:
Berkley Power Bait (Bright yellow, green or chartreuse (glitter optional).
I like to use a fresh jar daily.
Pautske's Premium Red Label "Ball's of Fire" salmon eggs. (Protein)
Worms / Nightcrawlers (1 or 2 Dozen.) Inspect worms for liveliness. Bad
odor = dead worms. (Protein)
Kraft mini marshmallows (Plain white). Or you can buy the garlic flavored
fish bait. (Sugar)
Kraft Velveeta cheese (1pound) (Fat)
Berkley Power Wigglers
Zeke's Floating Cheese (Fat)
WC-40 Spray Lubricant. (Odor)
Canned Whole Kernel Sweet Corn (Green Giant) (Sugar)
Bait Tips: Try anything once to see what the fish are favoring today. Three
salmon eggs with a bit of Power Bait mushed aroung the hook eye makes a Shasta
Cocktail. A worm can be inflated with air or floated with a mini-marshmallow.
Note: If fish are biting, then go for production. Remove hook from fish if
extraction is easy, otherwise, cut and replace leader, bait and cast.
<>For a Status Indicator, I hang a 1-3/8 inch bobber -- with a size #1
snap-swivel. Open the Snap and hang it from the line between the second and
third eyelet. Rod angle should be at about 45 degrees. The bobber should be
suspended half way to the ground. If the bobber jerks up, then you have a
bite. If the bobber rises slowly, then it could be the wind is increasing or a
fish might be mouthing your bait. If the bobber drops slowly, the wind could be
dying down or a fish might have your bait and be coming towards shore.
<>Check bait at 30 minute intervals.
<>If you get a fish, and adjust your reel drag for the fight, be sure to reset
your drag to a light setting after casting.
<>Most fish are within 30 to 40 feet of shore.
