I am getting to fish for the first time in over 2 months this weekend. Baseball is finally over. I am night fishing. I am going to try some different things, as I know fishing has been farely tough where I am fishing in the warm water (85+). I thought about wacky rigging a worm, but never really done that when I have fished 30'+. Would you do that w/a carolina rig set up?? Or would I need to use my normal Texas rig type set up and just wacky hook the worm? What kind/size of worm would you all use for this and hook size? I am up for other ideas of different lures to use, other than the same ole jig and 10" worms that everyone elses uses. Thanks!

Lots of guys are having great luck with Rage Anaconda and Thumper.

We're also killin'em on big jigs/ Craw and Lobsters. For "something

different" I would go with a futter spoon.

I usually make it a point not to post about things that I have never tried. But after reading your post I think I found just what you are looking for.

This is a rig Matt Alan uses for night fishing in 30+ feet of water. It consists of a wacky rig hags tornado bait (8" or 12" bait) on a 3/4 oz dirty jigs pivot football head.

Like I said I've never fished this bait but Matt Alan is a lunker catching machine so I tend to listen when he starts talking about fishing.

Here is a link to the video where he talks about how to fish it.

Good Luck

I'll vouch for the wacky jig. It's won a few bucks. The fish in my avatar came on one.

Also, a senko or other heavy worm wacky rigged on a drop shot rig with a long dropper works well. You're basically expediting the bait through unproductive water column. Once the weight hits bottom, give the bait slack of it's natural sink rate. Lift, repeat.
