The favorite hard water past time of digging up older threads.
Totally guilty of it myself.
I like it too.
As for this one, besides the obvious challenge of having so much more water to cover & eventually eliminate, there's the the matter of 'timing'.
Smaller water will often allow a basshead to sort of bump into the fish when they are feeding.
Since it take less time to cover the less acreage, the chances improve a bit in that regard.
This seem less of a thing when there's some vast-ness to a body of water.
Being on the right spot, at the right time and doing the right thing rarely happens by chance. Usually requires at least some map study and then . . . . . whole lot of fishing time.
And the fishing time needs to happen during different times of the day, different days of the week (depending on boating traffic) and even during different seasons: at each potential spot.
I have great spots that I only visit and find find fish at very specific times, and even during specific times of the year. Could be a bust in the spring and Boom in the Fall. Even vice versa too.
So Timing can be serious swing & miss deal anywhere but big water in particular.
But when we connect, it's usually pretty good.
