Agreed.
When I had a boat (which was before we had kids), my favorite thing was drifting the south side of Fishers Island, in 10 feet of water or less, throwing eels with light spinning gear. If that didn't produce, and often it didn't, we'd troll tube & worm on lead core, and if that didn't work, and if either I was hungry for a bass or had someone on board who had never caught one, I'd break out the wire.
In my opinion, snapping 300 feet of wire with a parachute jig on the end, must be very much like serving time on a chain gang, banging rocks with a sledgehammer. But it works. Or at least, it worked when there were fish around.
I don't like that way of fishing, but I'm happy to do it twice a year when 6 of us get together, and it's more about catching up with longtime friends, than about the fishing. The comraderie is one of the very, very special things about fishing, in my experience.
I just hope we see some improvement. Southeastern CT, including the Race, was awful in 2014.
