Hmmm..east? Is that left or right? I get so confused.

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

Depends on which side you're on and also whether it's night or day. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

thanks for the advice, but if I'm casting out 300 feet and the plug swings 200 ft, then that's the way it goes.
who was there first? you or the pudding head?
how did that cost you a plug? if you were throwing a pencil also, it would have followed a similar pattern.
we line up a lot closer and jig with no problems as long as everyone goes in order.
or are you just grumping
Andy, I told you before, the tide goes out and the current runs west for about 4 hours then turns east for another 2 hours so now it's on your left, but if you are smoking a cigarette, it depends on which way the wind is blowing and everyone knows that bass don't like secondhand smoke so make sure you face west or left depending on which side of the canal you are on(which is usually the opposite side the fish are on).  |

I was there first and I always pay attention to how others are fishing so as not to mess up their drift etc. particularly if they are there before me (plus I am always up for a potential learning opportunity). This was a little ludicrous the guy drifted in front of a large piece of man made structure I happened to be standing next to. He was 200 feet away from me and his plug drifted I would guess a hundred feet down from me. I lost the plug because in an effort to not lodge a
Hook into the guy that was Taking my line off his plug I let my line go slack. My plug got hung up in the weed.
I truly try and observe how others are doing it so as not to impede. If I show up and another is fishing where I want to be oh well I give us a pole length between just makes things easier when bringing in fish etc.
I also fish close quarters with people I know with no problems. I won't crowd people I don't know or ask them if they think they have enough room with me setting up in a given spot.

I see
that's happened to me too with a jig, unless I am able to keep line straight and out of weeds and rocks
sucks
then you end up retieing and miss time while bass break right in front of you
ah, the wonderful world of canal fishing
next time reel your plug in and untangle it yourself I guess
hope it wasn't a Sebile |

Simple solution. Always fish slack in the 0 dark 30 hours. No #^&#^&#^&#^&heads around.
Funny story. I was at the Canal this morning. Crawled into a spot I like and started drifting eels. After about 1/2 hour a #^&#^&#^&#^&head shows up and asks if I minded if he fished next to me. I told him I didn't mind just as long as he didn't mind getting TB. I then started coughing like hell. Told him I was having chemo for bladder cancer and they infused me with live TB cells (that part is true but I haven't had that particular routine in a year). He kept going.

Thanks Slip. That will really be useful information as soon as I learn left from right. I never thought of using smoke signals for fish reports..this is really going to speed up my hero status down there!

That's a good way to get people to fish away from you.
I like skippys "splash cast" method too
