What is the best way to fish live baits? Crawdads and shiners?

Question:
Im fishing with live crawdads and shiners but they just aren't interested that much?! Whats the best way to fish these baits?

-Tim

Answer:
When fishing with shiners you want to use a bobber or a balloon that's is light enough so that it doesn’t take much for the shiner to swim with it and hook the shiner in the lips or in the back.

When using crawdads I like to peg a weight about a foot up the line and just enough weight to hold it down and fish it around cover I hope these tips will help you catch some more fish and thanks for sending in the question.

Good luck!
