Instead of having to sit there and hold the rod and wait patiently you can just set some yo-yo's and go do something else.

I aint got much patience to jig for sacalait, i'd rather bass fish.

Like what...shoot some hoops?

now becareful Salty, idk if you fishing a pond or waterway. Some waterways only allow a certain amt of Yo-yo's per person/ regulations.

Here is a couple of more pics.

We fished out of a camp on the old Sabine River, South of Merryville, when I was in high school and use them. When we painted them hunter orange to make them easy to find and they got stolen the first night. We painted them green after that.

No worries...it's a private bar pit.

The thing that concerns me is that this thing is loaded with all kinds of underwater timber from Katrina. Hang-ups might be a real pain.

[QUACKHEAD]

oh, also good catch Fool, I would have left them out, but that's just me I leave my yo-yo's out for about 3 weeks and run them just about every night between me and Kornbread. He is out there now with a couple of our friends checking them. We have been averageing
about 2- 48 quart ice chest a night counting the night run and morning.

I would think them perch would be deeper than that. I ain't interested in yearlin' bass.

Some time they are dead when we go check em, but the air/water temp is usually pretty cold, never had one that was spoiled if that's what your asking. Depth of the set is no more than 6 inches, sometimes if the wind is not blowin hard we set em just to where the gills stay wet on the shiner. W/perch will not face down to feed, they always look up. Nights with a little moon or full is the fill your ice chest nights. We bait right before dark, run them a couple hours later, and rebait while we are checking them. As long as we are not tired we run em every couple of hours. Once we get tired we go home get some rest, wake up early, around 7 we try to be there to run em. We won't bait them till the evening. turtles, gar and trash fish will get the shiners more during the day.
