Lethal wrote: something ive understood for quite some times is when to fish out behind the boat, lets see if this is the conditions you encountered this time Wayne, first its a slow drift second the current is in the same direction, what happens is the line is hled up but the jig stays down being heavier, if the opposite is happening current against tide the jig tends to stay put and line follows boat thus you lose contact or worst scenario you hook the bottom up... |
Lethal wrote: i just re read what i said there and its back to front sorry, like you said current opposite direction from wind will hold the line up and allow you to fish further back behind the boat... yep correct.. yeah current with boat is ok but once past center the line is dragged forward making the lure bounce along the bottom or getting snagged... Justin fishing thought he must have given it away, he has gone very quite lately, i suspect fatherhood has got him tied down now, but it was time he settled down... |

Thought so I got some but loaded it on anoverhead ( yet to try it) Think I'd feel a bit behind the 8ball not being able to see the olive green line. I've always thought high viz line was an advantage for softbaiting~~what say you ? |
