I've got a lot of ideas as far as what we should've done or where we should've fished, but the reality is that my buddy didn't want to drill any more holes (to be fair, neither did I but would have) or move.
We used everything from shrimpos/mealies to big tube jigs with chub meat. We also used some perch meat/eyes from an abandoned perch. I even tried an unconventional, super stinky natural bait that I've been toying with. That didn't work at all, but has for tigers in another place.[

He caught his splake with a tube jig and a whole chub. I caught mine with a cutt'r bug tipped with a meal worm.
Fished all over the column in about 45 feet of water, mostly around 25ft. I did miss one good hard bite about an hour after arrival.
Next time I go, I'm either going alone or with someone that has a power auger and a willingness to move around. Plus I'm starting in a totally different area.
