How do they do it?

Was out early today. very few pogies, not thick enough to snag. It was so flat that you could see a silverside splash at 200 yds. Then comming up the bay it looked like a rip line in mid channel comming right towards us. There had to be a thousand fish slashing and gulping little bait. They had us surrounded, mixed bass and blues, some were real cows. Managed a couple and a few snipped sluggos and then it was done. Gone! How can that many fish disapear in just seconds? I got some pretty good electronics, how could I loose them? I ran uptide, downtide, side to side, nothing! Vanished! Are they magicians? When I was over them the screen was red from top to bottom and within a minute it was blank. No amount of searching could find them. I think they are developing stealth technology!

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
