When I'm out there throwing lead in the canal at 2am, it's because I am looking for a fish that can pull me off my rock.
When I head out plugging I have a very different, much more relaxed mindset. I'm moving around much more, observing the environment and what's going on around me. Looking for spots that hold fish, the rush of the water around a submerged rock, nervous water, or the cut in a bar. I love that first cast whack when you switch to a danny at first light, or the smack of a fish on a pencil when the sun just touches the water @ dawn.
