I fish eels often, and I notice that whenever I move to an new location, I get a bass within 5 casts... think its going to a GREAT night, and I keep casting for 2 more hours to get a short. that first keeper keeps me fishing unproductive water for hours... Why is it so easy to get the first, but such a chore to get the second? more eventually come, but is it because my eel is hitting undisturbed water, and they eventually get spooked? I dont think this is the case, but who knows... maybe I got the only one there? any thoughts?
