Superfly didn't invent the technique, but he sure does like to use it. So much so, that I just started calling it "Flydogging". The name just stuck.

It's not really boondogging with a training wheel Keith. It's more like side drifting bait dragging with a training wheel. Boondogging is all about the guy running the sled. Doesn't take any skill to huck out a hunk of UEC eggs and wait for a fish to gulp them down!

Eh, OK, what the float really does is slows down your presentation, keeps the lead upright while dragging (doesn't snag up as much), and allows you to fish a long stretch of water without moving your bait out of the terminal area.

Not something I'd do out of a sled, but out of a drift boat. Keep the floats behind you as you let them drag along.

To rig them, think of a standard drift fishing rig. Just add to that a slip dink float. Use about a 30" leader. and a good chunk of lead (to keep the float upright). Set the depth so your lead is clunking (solidly) along the bottom. Just deep enough so that your lead will slide along the rocks, not getting stuck in them. Fish all the pockets/seams.

Yeah, Bob, training wheels don't work. Speaking of which, can't wait for a good number of Jerry's to show up in the Duc! I live for the moment when you see the Big Silver Mirror of Jerry! Oooo!
