Floating Carrots.

I can see a floating  carrot as a real killer on a Carolina rig.  Getting the bait floating / suspended can really increase your catch rates when bait is suspended off the bottom.

  I'll be sure and try it.  A floating carrot wacky carolina rigged could be a real killer. These highly buoyant baits definitely add a new dimension to the arsenal. Come on spring!!!

If your water isn't where you can walk on it (  ); this Carolina technique, worked slower, will work in the winter.

 If I could find the bass it probably would!! I've been catching lots of saugeye & white bass and I've either caught or been bitten off by at least one musky each of my last 5 trips. I had a GIANT bite me off last Friday. But the bass have been in hiding. I think they're suspended offshore feeding on shad. The state draws down all the lakes in my area in winter for flood control. They should be down to winter pool by next week. The bite should pick up once the water level quits falling. The water was still 41 degrees this past weekend. That's unheard of this time of year in Ohio.
