First fish where fish are. If you get frustrated bottom bouncing, try floats or spoons. Floats are visual, spoons are direct. If you are committed to learning bb make sure that you have a sensitive rod, the correct wt to get the right bottom contact, keep the slack out of the line, watch the rod tip, and lift if anything feels "different" than the last cast. If after lifting it feels a little "mushy" set the hook.
