How To Catch Goggle-Eye?

Gavin is right - fish on or near the bottom - I like small scented plastics, tiny deep diving cranks or 1/8-ounce finesse jigs. Basically the same stuff you'd use for Bass just scaled down.

If you feel more comfortable with live bait or have kids with you, find a shoal and catch some crawdads use the smaller ones whole or just the tail of a larger one and pitch it in the hole especially by root wads with a fine wire hook and a split shot. Last weekend they were in the rocks next to the bluffs almost on the bank. Hence their name up north of rockbass. worms and minnows work well also if you're serious about catching a mess to eat. Careful of the small bass though don't let the fish chew too much on the bait. A long wire hook works best for unhooking and pulling out of snags.
