I've never actually live lined a live bunker from a boat before, and was more than a bit unimpressed by the technique.

Seems more like a novelty than fishing.

You're snagging bunker in so thick a treble zipped through the water will produce over and over again. If you get thirsty, there's a vending machine on the dock about 20 yards away.

You motor to the GPS coordinates Parker's "friend" emailed you that morning.

Then you drop it in the water (or if you're an old salt give it a toss) and let it swim around for a while.

Eventually, a bass who's probably starving (because all the bunker she'd like to have eaten are already in your live well) is tricked (suckered really) into the take about 10-20 feet from your boat. It must be what, a full dozen or two cranks of the reel to bring her boatside?

And this is a sport?

You know Jeff, sometimes you post and confirm the fact that you are a total F*&^$ing idiot.

No boat, back in the suds.
