Super User J Francho Posted June 26, 2012 Super User Posted June 26, 2012 I tried to play the video you provided, but it says it is private. Thanks! Fixed that. No idea it was set that way. Quote
logan9209 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 The buckets are roughly a foot tall, but most of the cover I want to be pitching to are trees or bushes that hang over the water. So, I thought it would be wise to practice pitching where it slides under and to the back. I laid them down which made them only 6" tall. Doing this also forced me to pay attention to accuracy as much as distance. The plates sound like a really good idea, but wind could be an issue. I don't want to run back and forth chasing plates. Cups? I'm not ready for and I'm not certain that my wife would appreciate that. Although, we've got so many that we barely have room for it. When I said I wanted the lure to slide under and to the back, I wasn't referring to skipping. That will come later. I meant where the lure "glides" over the surface a few inches before landing in the pocket under the tree limbs (or bucket). Skipping will have to be practiced on water I assume, because the ground would cause all sorts of line issues. Slonezp, I figured it was a poke at long mike, but is that a pic of you or just a random pic? Just wondering, cuz if it's a pic of you then it makes complete sense to me. LOL! Not sure why it would matter to me. It's between you and long mike anyways. Quote
logan9209 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 Oh, for those interested, when using buckets they will sometimes get turned at an angle. Resist the urge to move them, because now your target strike zone just got smaller. This will help with accuracy. Obviously if they turn completely side ways then by all means move them. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted June 26, 2012 Super User Posted June 26, 2012 I misread the part about fishing from shore calm down... MB, sorry!!! I can see how what I wrote seemed harsh. Rest assured it was not my intent. The "'nuff said, yada yada part was encouragement directed to the OP to let him know for sure that flippin and pitchin from the shore is possible and easy to do, even without the added elevation. Sometimes written words cannot convey this so please I aplogize. Quote
logan9209 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 islandbass, lol i don't feel so bad about not being always able to convey what i'm trying to say. For example, I wrote one post saying that my fishing buddy and I would love to see some pros come to my lake to fish it to see how they do without boats and to take notes. Some how it got retranslated to us saying we were better than the pros, which is by no means the case at all. Anyways, thanks for cheering me up! Quote
