me and JoeyG discuss this alot......when fishing a concentrated area ("local" rocky areas)where you are pretty much standing in the same spot...the fish do get spooked by the activity of one getting hooked and fought or the commotion of lures hitting the water.....when it goes dead after landing decent fish we will say to each other "break time" and take 10 minutes or so out of the water....I am always ready that first cast back...most times they are back again because things settled down...
