GOOD STUFF, Crafty!!

i always wondered about there cruising/podding habits.
you know; the whole yearmates quandry??

here's sumthin for what it's worth,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
i'm returning some bug trap buoys this am to
this udl's lobster docks and a i see a couple of lobstermen
making way with some of their traps,,,,,,,,,,,,,

so we start to talk about where i got the buoys from and how i came across them, after that he proceeds to tell me of big pods (hundreds) of 50#'ers and up hangin' with his boat as they drop bait fish over the side near the rocks of this unreachable island that is seeable from my biggest producer.

now, is this how they pod or more a function of the Chowbell calling all COWS???

more pertinent to this thread is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
i have noticed that with THIS spot, it is very much a
first cast spot (about 85% of the time) when using eeeeels.
the last three times there. first cast, first take. many different sizes.

1st time; 33"er
2nd time; 40"er
3rd time; 30"er
and there was the night inbetween 2 and 3 that i missed many takes
commencing with the first cast ~~that was a better than average pull.

the most important thing i can glean from this is, at THAT spot
with eeeeels (rigged/live/sluggos) i bess be game ready from the gitgo!! that being said, i have had nights when the bite continued and that place was stacked with varying sizes from teeners to COWS. and the bite lasted for upwards of an hour,,,,,,,,,,,i hear yer dilemma, ivanputski, very TOUGH to leave a place when the first cast finds its target. and there is the age old debate of why/when is the best time to leave?
