I followed a shocking boat around way back in the 1970s on Jackson
Lake here. At one point they told us to fish a blowdown before they
shocked it. Bob and I made a dozen casts each to the tree with no
bites. When they ran the chains up around it, two five pound bass came
up. Showed me that just because you don't get a bite don't mean there
aren't fish there!
