I recently joined and am still getting acclimated with the site. With that said, I'm really picking up a lot of great tips from all different corners of the USA and I'm glad I joined.
Anyway, who's with me? Line screeeeeeeming, drop the rod tip, lock drag, and SETTTTT! The ensuing sound of a large predator pulling out line in large runs, seeming to last hours, causing every hair to stand on end with excitement and fear. I'll say it again, I LOVE IT!
Don't get me wrong, I fish lures. I fish lures when I know I can get more fish (with my skill level) on live bait. I'm still learning and can't wait to feel confident enough to enter a competition.
I'm just curious if i'm alone!?
Drop some words of encouragement if you agree or disagree. Like a fellow angler once said to me while striper fishing at 6:30 am in Marblehead MA on a rocky out cropping. "Not bad, for a bait tosser. What he witnessed; I just pulled in about a 17# bass, and was soaked head to toe from a wave while scooping him up on some slick rocks. I came down from the rocks gleaming with excitement and that is what he says... Never will forget it. BTW air temp was probably 50, water 55... This guy was sha-sha-sha-sha-shivvvvering!
