Its a really different bite this year. Lay your rod still on gunnel. Back of boat and short length of pole out is best so it doesn't bounce way up and down. Watch tip. First light twitch let it go. Pick up pole gently, be ready. It then becomes a guessing game... When is he going to twitch again? and anticipate that to hit him. The second twitch may be light too. He may suck it two or three times without hitting it good. You have to play the guessing game when to hit him. Any pressure on your part they turn it loose. That's why holding it is tough. Skipper 9 rig is good because you have two minnows hanging there together (you want them just inches off bottom) When he twitches it and steals the first one, you are ready to nail him when he goes after the second. Sunday they never bit good, but would sneak back at that next minnow two and three times. Takes patience and attention. The days of up and down bite, and of holding the pole waiting for them to nail it and bend it over are few and far between this year. Good luck.
