I saw a video of someone catching alewives in one of the northern lakes using sabiki rigs during the day. I have tried this a little on Tims Ford with no luck. But maybe a tiny piece of worm on the hook might help out. I have been catching another type of shiner close to the bank with #12 gold hooks and a tiny piece of worm. I kept feeling the little bait stealers while fishing for blue gill, but couldn't get the hook in them till I downsized the hook. These shiners, not sure exactly what they are but they are not shad or alewife, but are a shiny silver and have been 3-5" long and have produced all of the desired species of game fish.

He gets to the lake a coupla hours before daylight, goes to a spot 27 ft deep, sets his light out and waits about 15-30 minutes then starts casting. He says it usually doesn't take many throws til he's got his bait. Sometimes he'll put a bait on a hook and fish below the light and catch hybrids.

Your welcome aero!

Thanks, I appreciate the info, I've not fished Tim's very much because of the whole bait issue. Agelessone and Aero always provide great information for this board.

How do you like The Green Magnet? Which size do you have? We leased a slip for the boat this summer on Cheatham and it's in about 20'' of water, so I was thinking about trying for some crappie under the lights.

Had luck up at Center Hill in the dead of summer fishing under lights
