Ya I like my usual haunts, but it's been a bit more crowded this year and while I was on that side I wanted to do a little exploring, see how the other half lives. I need to find 2 or 3 more good spots to fish. That spot won't be one of them, as fishing where we were today is almost the same as where I fish, it just seems to have consistantly bigger fish. Sooner or later I may join you guys in the lineup there, just not yet... I've got 7 miles of canal to fish and I spent 100+ nights this year on less than 1/2 mile of it. So much to learn still....
Before you got there JP came down, sets up next to me and hits 3 quick fish on 3 casts in a row and I didn't even have a tap. Guess thats what happen when you fish in someone elses pond
I never did get the feel for where I wanted to be in the drift there. I'm sure its like anyplace else and it takes a while to get the feel. I should have been casting further upcurrent like I normally do but I was trying to get it out in the middle and drop it downcurrent & fish it the way JP does.
JP thanks for trying to explain what you were doing & why.
I got a kick out of the fact that you knew how long to count to hit bottom, that just fits in perfectly with your profession.
