Hey, thank you for the info folks... I happen to have a couple of lures called "Dave's Kaboom Mean Streaks" that have a bill that looks like they will dive into a 9' to 12' hole...was planning to try these along with the thundersticks...think they might work?

I will be on the Pere Marquette River this coming Monday...be fishing from a boat...most likely down river from Scottville. I go out every year (past 4 years) with a local fellow that has done well for us...just like to get a perspective from others who have done this for years...nothing more valuable than good information.

Sorry, sjk984, for getting the username backwards...long day

Thank you both...yes, skj, that makes a lot of sense... must say that it seems to me any hit on the stick has come 90 degrees to the shore (from a boat), or slightly past... I must ask if you ever drop back after the initial crank down...or change direction as you crank in...again, thanks.

What do you believe is the correct way to work a thunderstick when river fishing? I know this may seem like a dumb question, but I have heard things about "quarter casting", which I believe is casting slightly upstream, and slow cranking as the lure swings over the hole...and I've heard "do not cast "completely" upstream, because the lure won't "dig" down... Any imput would be greatly aprreciated...thank you, folks.
