tried something today that I haven't done in a long time 15-20 years. went out this morning and the wind was howling.couldn't get bit for about 30 minutes,weather has been an issue since the hurricane blew through. high pressure one minute then fronts coming through the next. so I thought about something that I used to do as a kid. I tied on a weightless 3" charlie brewer grub and about 6" above 2 bb split shots. little carolina rig, that way back, when fishing local ponds I would tear em up. well 33 fish later and a little less skin on my right thumb it turned into a good morning. nothing bigger than 2 lbs. But what a blast. kept it simple used about 20 baits,4 lb. test. fish were holding just off the bottom in about 3 foot water.real slow,but would hit like a freight train. a small train,but none the less.

Nice report! UL Carolina aka split shot rig is quite a good
technique when the going is tough. Though these days, 
the drop shot has been working better than anything in 
tough conditions for me.

Good reminder there. I have not done split shot for a long time. I remerber when I use power worm with split **** drag slow a long bottom very close to bank, I caught a whole bunch of dinks.
