A buddy of mine got me to try lead core a couple years ago and no matter what else I do now I always start out with one bottom bouncer and one lead core rod. I usually don't fish in over 30 fow on the michigan side of erie so I have one rod with 3 colors so that is the max I use and it has worked out. I sometimes start at 2 color if the fish are up and adjust if needed. I have no idea why but some days we end up pulling 6 or 7 on lead core when 1oz on mono won't work . like you I put the lead core and BB off the back of boat and use my boards on mono with spoons, lures, spinner baits whatever

good fishing

I'd be real leary on running lead out in brestbay, with all that boat traffic, you might end up loosing alot of equipment. Way to many boaters don't care about how close they run to you. I agree it works at times, but I only run it when there is NOT many boats around. To many other ways to get em and not bother with lead IMHO.
