I find sidescan handy to look for fishy spots but I try and avoid driving over where I'm going to fish as it's generally 15m or less. When I go back around for another drift I'll go well wide of the area. The tip about letting it sit for a while is a good one and it can be difficult to detect bites. If you're doing everything right but still not catching them, the only other thing is to get out before dawn. It can be amazing fishing in winter but the bite times can be very short. I always try to be on the spot before the sun gets up. Last Friday was double and triple hook ups at first light. If you'd got there at 10am you'd be forgiven for thinking there were no fish. |
