Here's a quick tip that'll put some bass on your stringer or on the end of your line(for those who prefer CPR-Catch Photo Release)
Early in the Spring, before the panfish get too active, try nose hooking a big lively crawler on a #6 or #8 hook. Then cast it out with no weight or bobber. Watch your line closely as the crawler sinks. A bass may go left, right, or away or towards you...either way...reel up the slack and set the hook!
For longer casts and more strikes...lighter line works best for me. I like 4-6Lb mono on a 6-6&1/2' light action spinning rod.
Once you're sure the crawler has sunk all the way to the bottom...lift your rod tip above your head and let the crawler sink again. This will bring the bait towards you and up off the bottom maybe 8-10'. Early in the spring, the bluegils and other panfish won't bother with a large crawler too much. But once the water warms up a little more, and they become more active, this technique will only result in a bunch of lost crawlers and fat and happy panfish!
Good Luck! & Tight Lines!!!

Yes it is hard to make people believe that a liter line sinks faster then 10 to 12 pound test does and pan fishing I like a lite line like 4# test normally Berkly trilene it is a mono line . Bass fishing I use 10 to 12 pound with a Number of artificial from crank baits to plastics lead heads with Grubs , cray fish , plastic worms . as the water gets a bit warmer I like the noise baits like a buzz bait or the rattle style like the Cornell cranker shallow divers but most top water .
