[QUOTE="KDM, post: 23567, member: 314"] When I go muddin' I tend to stick and move. If the fish are there, they usually hit in the first 15 to 30 minutes. If I don't get bit, I move. If I catch a fish within that time frame, that tells me that the fish are there, and I just have to figure out what they want. Then I will stick and stay and make'em pay. I am not a big fan of the bait and wait game. IMO there are too many things that can go wrong with your bait. Example, the minnow may find a crevice between two big rocks where game fish can't get at it. Mud and sediment carried by currents can quickly cover a bait completely hiding it from fish. I like to run a jig most of the time, but am not afraid to pitch a crank or run a bobber rig either. Let the fish tell you what they want. With these tactics I know my bait isn't hidden and is available to the fish. These trends have served me well in the Sheyenne, Missouri, Maple, and Red rivers throughout my fishing life. Good Luck!!!
