Agree Dave, more anglers have come to know the power of the little rig, in any season. Sorry to hear you guys don't have any soft water to fish, that would drive me to drinking (too much). I do think you have a point about there being some good fish shallow that could be had on the Rig, but on my recent trips, I have always caught better fish deeper. Location seems to be very very important right now. When you get the location right it can be good, and usually several can be caught there.
