I got to know about your Fish Dentist name. Do you just pull their teeth or give 'em free checkups or what? I might not even be close to what it means. Mine means bluegills run and hide when I hit the water. I don't know where.

Here I was imagining you catchin' muskies and pikes and pullin' their teeth. And if you're charging the little ones, how do you collect? You ain't takin' it out of grandpa's hide are you?
So you fish the "Woods"? And more particularly the bottom? Have you ever tried "Coat Hanger" rig straight down thru the wood? Actually heavy copper wire is nicer to use than coat hanger wire.
I've had surprizingly good hooking ratio with a small weedless jig too. I was hesitant to use them but after loosing regular jigs on every cast I finally tried one. The weed guard was wire and stood straight up perpendicular to the hook rather than bake and over the hook.
Lastly I fish a spinner off of a beetle spin with a small floating hook 12" s back. If you hang too much shorten the leader down to 6"s or less.

Love to hear about how you fish the wood!
