Thanks Dave, I have done that with the bike..My earlier trips I did lots of legwork.
Low tides.Looking for turbulent water, upsides and downsides of mussel beds.Marked fishing locations..I did hook a good one in spot one time they told me it was the wrong tide??
Had em hooked for 30 seconds or so when she came undone.
Thats ok,while your landing ratio with a jig is as close to 100 percent of any artificial you can use.In them currents if you don't have em hooked right your not gonna land em. Good thing is,she told me I was doing the right thing..
Seems like last few trips I am getting a little complacent.
More cherry picking easy to fish spots.
It's all good..
