NIB's finest moment, other than the comment about farting too hard in your waders. Miss the guy.

After reading that last year and getting frustrated with the implementation, reading it again just now gives me a better understanding of where I might have gone wrong. I think my change of jobs won't have me so agrivated all the time and I can enjoy the trials and tribulations of learning as I should. Might have to practice with some inexpensive line, but I am looking forward to it.

yeah that was the one i was looking from from nib. i can only feel the bottom when i'm hung up on something. :confused: can't feel the "tic tic tic" situation. tried just bouncing a bucktail off the bottom and got lucky the other night. i have a lot to learn.

Tic tic tic will be hung up,
You are looking for
tic


tic


tic

Just enough so you know you are near bottom.

If you can't feel it you might be casting too far uptide, hard to keep a tight line then.
