OK, y'all be gentle because I'm a little slow because I overthink everything.
So, here goes: Over the weekend I went bass fishing on a boat for the first time. I always use a spinning rod and I only fish finesse--shakey head, Ned Rig, Drop shot, Senko, and wacky rig. I also fish Texas rigs a bit. I'm used to fishing from a bank, so while we were fishing on the boat, my buddy who owned and piloted it kept the trolling motor going constantly and we never stopped anywhere. I was on the back deck and I'd cast out my shakey head and let it sink, but the moving boat kept taking out the slack on my line and my presentations were not subtle at all. When I'd twitch it, it'd bound from place to place and I didn't know if I just didn't know what I was doing or if there's a better way to fish finesse on a moving boat. He and my son were fishing spinner baits and other appropriate lures for a baitcaster, so it had no effect on their game. Am I being ridiculous or am I right in thinking I was trying to do the impossible? Thanks!
