The couple of times I've done this, it was immensely enjoying. More
fun than solo fishing. With a good friend I think I could fish this
way for weeks...



I can't honestly say I've ever done it, as I think it's done in NZ. I
can see how being the 'spotter" could be very exciting and challenging. I
might love it with the right partner ... but I'm reminded of my one and only
truly wonderful hunting partner. One of the first things we agreed on was
that we'd each get our own birds while hunting over the same decoys. Many
groups just bang away and count birds for the blind until "everyone was
limited out." I've never hunted that way and always insisted on each
hunter covering a certain part of each flock ... you you get your limit, you
stop shooting, period ... it's kinda a team deal, work sharing, but not
really.

I think I sorta lean towards the same feeling in fishing, I'd rather go home
skunked than have you shooting my fish for me ... if that makes any sense
....


and remember, I've never really tried the take turns spotting deal ... never
fished where it was really 'needed"
