Friday Afternoon Off
 
Your not wrong about that luck factor, especially when they shut down. I
havw pitched to shorelines and laydowns and got nothing but put it 6 inchs
further back or to the left or right and wham!!! fish on.. sometimes you
have to bonk them on the head

I totally agree. Learning how to provoke a reactionary strike when the
bite is off is very cool. But so is knowing where and how to always find
some active fish is even better. Now, all I have to do is learn how ;-)
Which is the same problem 99.5% of all anglers face.

They say that at any time only 10% of the all the water in a lake is right
to support life. Now, that is a lot of dead (unproductive) water.
Further compound that with poor conditions, and we as anglers are faced
with only about 1% of all the water in a lake being right to support
activity (just a personal theory). Talk about finding a needle in a hay
stack I say the word LUCK goes along with the SKILL at that point. For
in a pro tournament you have a lot very talented and skilled anglers who
know where the most active fish SHOULD BE, so the deciding factor - LUCK
or being LUCKY.

Florida's different than Pa. Jim - up here Thursday's the day to fish.

Saturday's sure aren't. I'm guiding today, 39 degrees for a high, with
25-30 mph winds and rain mixed with snow.


Steve, if you fished last Saturday you are a tougher man than me. I
was going out to the mail box and asked my son to come along. It's a
10 to 15 minute hike through the woods and I thought we might shoot a
grouse or two. When we got outside he looked at me and said forget
the hunting, let's take the truck. I can't imagine being in a boat in
those winds and temperature plus the snow.

Pressure bothers you? I love pressure. My favorite time to be fishing is
in a really tough tournament. Anyone can catch fish when they're biting,
the trick is to catch em when they're not biting.

Still thinking about Boom, no doubt!
