i feel your pain. i have been casting and casting for the last 5 days. Scores of misses with many more casts that were just embarrassing. it was almost as if i had to knock the fish on the head to get any attention. hearing from others, and seeing first hand, it makes me wonder what the hell im doing wrong. i've been fishing the canal for over 20 years and it seems i have improved my catch ratio only slightly. the urge to go back tomorrow is strong, but man it gets depressing when they don't cooperate.
I somehow missed every decent blitz in the spring and summer. kids, ya know. been putting in a lot of hours since the middle of september with little to show for it. damn.
just venting..

Yeah---I watched one fish take about 5 whacks at your plug yesterday, and not eat it. You weren't alone, either. I saw many fish raised, and not a very high pass to hook-up ratio there. |

Hope your not seriously hurt Andy. You had a good season and I am glad that I was able to help direct you to this fine website.
I am basically done too...not like I ever really did much this year...but very grateful that I was there for the "EPIC" spring slamfest with Joe & Slip.
