That's pretty clever, BaySport. I was thinking about drifting a couple glow sticks in the water off the houseboat but wasn't sure if the idea would work. I've used a chum cage before when the bite is slow, and it's worked really well for us. Mind you, this only pertains to our fishing trips from a houseboat in Overton Arm and Callville Bay. This will be our first houseboat trip from Temple Bar. I plan on venturing to a couple places in the Temple Basin to see how good the bite is.
The chum cage is 3 square inches and 6 inches long. We mash about 6-8 anchovies into the cage and drift it from the back end of the houseboat about 6-10 feet down. I think the addition of glowsticks will definitely enhance our chances not to mention it will be pretty cool to see the stripers go after your bait. What color light do you use? We were thinking of using either the green or blue glow sticks. What do you think?
As always, thanks for the great report.
Best regards,
Paul
