how many 3 to 6 pound bass can you catch if they are swimming around your feet and bumping in your boots? If you are doing "figure eights " with your rod in the water with a bucktail/ Eventually ,you'll say i rather use my skill to catch one fish instead of mindless bailing
Now ,if you are a guide, this brings a big grin to your face

The skill comes in trying to pull a 20# fish from the mix of small ones. Is it not true that there are typically bigger fish on the edges or slightly away from the surface action? I for one am always trying to outdo the yahoos, who are yanking out the schoolies using storm shads, by tossing tossing a bigger lure around the fray or dragging/bouncing a smaller one a good ways away from the mayhem.

Now, if I could only locate a blitz up here on the N. Shore....
