I give darters little pauses and change speed and also pump the rod. Darters are not easy. Needlefish are another story

Pencils are easy on days when all you have to do is hit the water to raise a fish.

They're also easy to hook fish on--landing them is another story. They're second only to darters in giving the hooks a bad purchase in a fish's mouth.

They're also hook-straighteners if a fish gets everything just right.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Well, I don't know really. Been listening to the plugophiles talk about how easy bait is until I really thought about it. I was just bored yesterday.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Plugs vs bait? Bah humbug. The real test of a good fisherman is who can catch fish without a cellphone.
