When fishing the ditch - not checking on a spot to land fish. Pretty rough on some of those weed and slime covered fish. I have seen many 10 rated dives trying to catch balance on those rocks.  |
low & slow 37

Your into some decent fish, you decide to keep one for the table. You put it up onshore, where you think it's safe, to only look back a minute later and it's GONE.....DUH.

one mistake i used to do often was to fish with my drag too tight.. i bent hooks, ripped lips, etc. Now i keep it loose. This new Avet reel i just got is sweet because you can preset the drag's full setting.. i might never screw up agian  |

Rushing is a huge mistake. If you are in the middle of a blitz, it can be pretty tempting to get that hook dislodged as fast as you can so you can continue to fish. When you rush, thats when most of the above mentioned mistakes tend to occur. Slow it down, making a mistake while rushing will just cause your offering to stay out of the water that much longer.

Underestimating a short and grabbing the plug. Don't underestimate a short.

He's on. Im thinking he's ok. Dude you need a hand. Nah, Im good. You sure. Yeah I got it, its just a blue its tired. Ok, maybe you should take a step back and not try and land it at your ankles. (he was standing knee deep on a rock that was maybe foot by foot). Dude you sure yer ok, I'll swim over. Nah Im good hook up! ok sure I cast Im on. Im watching him thinking to myself how Im going to swim back to shore with him having a bluefish inpaled in his crotch. Then I see him he takes a wrap on the leader, jams his rod in his belt. Hmmm hes not doing too bad.. See I told ya its tired.. Bluefish starts freakin Break Dancing between his ankles trebles everywhere, blood, rips tears swears lots of em.
Guess it wasnt soo tired huh?
