riarcher Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Anyone free drift larger chunks? Know most use finders and hi-lo's. But wonder if free drifting 3-6 oz. heads would be productive. I'm sure the blues would cream the tails and will save them for the finders. I've not tried chunking in so long I'll need to learn it all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick9915 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 It can definitely work but you need to be aware of everyone else around you and what they're doing. A couple of weeks ago I was fishing with some guys and we're all using weights. One kid decided to float chunks and proceeded to run under a few lines, mainly mine. If no one else is around, go for it. Just make sure you have enough line out so it can sink slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket500 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I've drifted large chunks with no weights at times and it can be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riarcher Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I doubt anyone would be around,,, at least until a hook-up. Amazing how people materialize out of thin air when you've a fish on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal Intruder Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I use heads all the time, and they account for some of my larger bass. Be aware that the fishing will be slower some times, but the wait will be worth it! Most of the times they will be 36 or up. Good luck Henry All Gave Some, Some Gave All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinthedark Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Can be very successful, This spot we were fishing is up in the back of jamica bay didn't have a lot of current but the fish were there and on da bunka, we were in 10-15 feet of water but all we had to do was bunker up and let baits float back an we had fish. Fishing bridge pilings (Atlantic beach bridge)with clam bellies and worms this method has produced as well, lots of current here so I don't think a chunk would work but you could probably try a strip of bunker . Thinking about it now I would have loved to have a ticker mackeral strip bait to feed back into the current I Fish therefore I Lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfnDrum Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 YES! ... but depending on the current and where you are, your bait may end up on shore real fast. So floating it may not be the best option for getting or keeping your bait in the zone. assuming you are fishing from shore .... .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samschreiber Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 absolutely deadly, just be considerate... If you have a baitfeeder, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
