Nice, so kind of similar to a Carolina rig. Thanks for sharing!

EGbassing, looked like bass to me. Don’t know the specific type. Scaleface, cool pics - would you mind sharing your setup/equipment/methods? Or I could pm you?

Sam, I couldn’t see their bait or setups - I was on the other side of the bank. One dude on my side yelled across the bank to ask the species and the guy yelled back “Bass!” Yeah, looked like small/young bass to me. Yes, YouTube and online forums have been my main resource. I’m not discouraged when I get no bites. I like going through the different methods and seeing what works. Thats what this curiosity is. Would I use this as my main style? No, it doesn’t exactly mesh with the process that I’ve been enjoying. But “dead sticking” a second rod while being active on my other setups is an option I might use during a long dry spell.

Looked like they were catching young/smaller bass, not sure if they were aiming for that species. Too far on other side of the bank too see bait.

Thanks I’ll look those up

So the “cast it and forget it” method huh? Thing is, it was working. Guess I’d like to know the set ups and rigs for this. Maybe I can set one of my rods this way while I’m active on the other.

Hi, I just recently got into fishing and I’ve been trying a few different methods at my local lake. Some success, mostly none. On my last visit I noticed a guy and his son had 4 rods with line in the water. Meanwhile they were doing other things and only checked on the line every now and then. They were catching fish pretty consistently. Is there a name for this method? I’d like to know more about it. Thank you.
