re "What lake? etc. etc." I'm not telling.

I can see a lot of water skiers and they think nothing of coming with-in
50
feet of an anchored boat. Fishing boats are anchored twenty feet apart. I
can imagine how much room the other fishermen would give me if they
thought
I was on to fish. I hide my catches by turning my back to the other boats
when I quietly pull one out.

I'm happy to share this...5 or 6 or 7 feet of water; weeds..yes.. but not
growing all of the way to the top. I set up a Texas style long drift
depending on which way the wind is blowing; casting long casts way ahead
of
the boat. It would appear that no one else fishes that way here. Maybe
that
is a small part of my "luck".

I think you're right Rich. You're manufacturing your own luck, using
something other than "what we always used".
