I have paved the ditch from one end to the other using this method in my too many years fishing the ditch. How many others have done so??  |
what he said.
I get hung up on others line in the canal and it's frustrating. ALWAYS use a leader that will break first. I have never left more than an inch or 2 of line in the canal and hope I never do.
I think what cow tamer may have meant about cutting the line, is if it's just a short length of line out there and too deep to reach the plug, or something like that because he is from RI and I doubt he gets hung up with 100 yards or more line out like we do in the canal.
