I threw my biggest Flutter spoon but didn't catch a Pickerel ,who knows though I may have attracted them to the area with all that flash ! I was throwing the Big Flutter spoon on a bait caster and having trouble with backlashes till I adjusted the magnetic control .Casts weren't as far but it helped out a lot . I threw the Bomber Crank on that baitcasting rod and muscled that smaller Pick easily away from the weeds. I anchored out side the pads in two spots and drifted up to some sort of shoreline cut to get these fish and some smaller Gills I released .

I have some of those old books and may have read of the technique... or not. The memory isn't what it used to be.
Seems I've heard of the feather "bob" technique, though, somewhere and I do recall that those old timers always had a pole man in the rear of the boat.

I'm thinking this could also work in micro form for gills...
