I first tried two size eight weighted jigs under a bobber, on one rod. On the second rod, I tied two size 8 hooks on a drop shot rig and cast it out and let it sit on the bottom. All hooks were tipped with a small chunk of crawler. I fished for about an hour and didn't get a bite on either rod. I tried cranking my reel a couple times, on the rod on the bottom, and letting it sit for 30 seconds and repeating. That was the trick (letting it sink to the bottom and bouncing it back to shore).
I would cast out about 75 to 100' and let it sink to the bottom. Many times chubs would immediately hit, but a couple bounces would always get hits. Over 1/3 of the time, we reeled in doubles (my fishing buddy started fishing the same way I was fishing and also began having success). One must use small hooks and get it on the bottom.
