Merrimack Pumpkinseed

While waiting for a carp to bite, I started fishing a fast moving section of the Merrimack in Lowell. I cast into the faster current and reeled back to the seam between fast and slower current. I was using a spinning rod with a clear, weighted bobber, and a white wolly bugger tied on. I caught these 2 pumpkinseeds, and also a smallmouth bass with this technique.
