Are you fishing for rocks or fish?

I see a rock, or group of rocks and think about what may be hiding around them. In a moving water environment it is more enticing as any rock in moving water can create a form of shelter for fish to use.

In the ocean, large rocks and rock formations give smaller fish a place to hide, and larger fish a place to hunt!

Keep in mind the tidal flows will repeatedlt wash things out from around the rocks. When these things get washed out, they become fair game for the larger predators.

It would be a fairer question/comment to say "Do you use rocks as markers for where fish may be caught during a tidal change?"

I have a number of "rocks" at the cnal and in freshwater as well.

The key is to know the waters AND the shoreline, and have an understanding of the topography of that partidular water's bottom.
(I had to "re-learn" a section of the canal after they cleaned it up a few years back. I took some time, but I was able to locate some fish and was able to find that spot again based on the "rock marker" on the shore.)

Hey, as long as you can catch fish, whatever you do is great when it works. When it doesn't, you try something or somewhere else.

Good luck!

I am a legend in my own mind!
