We used to stay on middle bass for a week in early may every year. Had excellent luck using leeches and minnows on a bobber (yes, a bobber). There is a pocket in the east side of north bass, out from a red barn that was very productive. Also caught a lot on the S.E. side of middle bass. Also used plain jigs with a leech on it, casting and gentle retrieve. Leeches were the key.....

Man- That is the fun stuff. fishing with a good old fashioned bobber. I know just what double d is saying. I have also had tremendous success with bobbers. I like a long slip bobber with a tip that is up 8-10 inches, with leech and a rubber band to stop the line. I fished a lake in Wawa Canada and that was the ONLY way to catch eyes. With leeches too. Very fun and as basic as it gets.
