Fished from 9-1 using minnows from the bank. Had 2 poles rigged, one on the bottom, one with a float. The bottom rig never had a bite so I switched to the float on that rod too, but the bite was done by then I guess. The float rig set about 6' over 25'+ caught fish. Small largemouth , biggest was maybe 14 1/2" . Caught 9 in the first hour then nadda. Should have caught more , had several opportunities in that first hour. 3 hours w/o a strike trying other depths to get bit was enough to send me packing. Saw the biggest Loon I've ever seen fishing out over the channel. Heard an Eagle but never saw it.

it's definitely a good idea. I've been tying flies this month experimenting w/ lots of diff materials just for fun but haven't tried any of them yet.
