To box or not to box the fish
I fish with a commercial guy as his mate sometimes and I can tell all that if its 34" or greater its in the BOX and rightly so. I can understand Ron's question though. But Bigfishes answer was right to the point and the right one to boot. Yesterday we filled up the box and I was going to flyfish over the top of the boat captain/commercial guy when he reeled up one close because we all know that fish on the hook get chased by other fish. I never got the chance, because after we maxed the box we were both to tired to fish further so the flyrod stayed caged. Got some great fish yesterday though. Bigfish any comments on that type of fishing activity, flyfishing over the top of a guy tight with a fish on and being reeled in??? I have tried that with some success elsewhere, such as from shore, fishing next to guys plugging. But generally when your out in the bay this time of year the fish are deep and its difficult putting a fly down to them, so casting over someone with a fish on is a unique way to go after them.
Seven weeks to the fishing heaven, the Vineyard!
