I don't think we can use goldfish in Florida. How far off the bottom does the bait need to be? Where is that stream and how big is it? Big enough to take a jon boat up? When my taxes come hopefully I will be able to get a trailer hitch on my car, so I can hit up shoal river.

if u put the john boat in on fair field it will fitt, but its best to work that stream with a kayak

I don't knowas much about Florida as much as I do in Missouri but we set our limblines with the live minnow or crawdad to be resting right on top of the water. Just submerged enough to where it has to make a racket. It seems to work you into more flathead which are our preferred catch. In Florida I am sure you can find a hearty bait replacement for our bluegill but the absolute best up here is a green sunfish aka warmouth. They stay very lively on a line.
