im sure the method works if you have active fish feeding in the area to grab it quickly before the minnows clean it out but that doesn't seam to be the case for me and a slower bite results in the bait becoming an unattractive empty shell far too quickly.

no, I get it and I understand the comment but ....
well im living in laplace right now and lake ponchartrain is 20 minutes away including stopping to get gas and launching the boat plus just a short 10 minute boat ride from the launch to the power lines so im fishing in 30 minutes after leaving house.
yes I fish GM all the time but that's a near 3 hour round trip driving plus $20-$25 gas in the truck.
lake ponchartrain red fishing is also easier because you dont have to get up early, you fish from 10am to 2pm when the sun is high and the shadows caused by the sun are tight to the powerlines. the fish use the shade and that is where you catch them and in the middle of the day they hold tight to the powerline poles.
so the question is why go down south when the fish are biting right in your own back yard? granted it doesn't require expensive bait to fish but other expenses out weight the bait costs
