<br /> I live in a small holler protected from the wind and around 3:00 this afternoon convinced myself that it was a good time to fish ( or at least a good time to put off digging holes in the yard or finally writing that IRS check ). In 1 ½ hr I caught 9 between 11†and 13†on various colors of ringer stingers. Most of the fish were in 20&#43; feet of water on a 4 count, but they had to be convinced to bite. The “pause and twitch†had to be just right or no strike. I’m positive I would have liminted out except:<br /> 1. The wind was blowing a bow in the line and the boat was bouncing so much it was almost impossible to detect a strike.<br /> 2.. I didn’t wear enough clothes. <br /> 3. The boat seat didn’t look wet, but mine soon did.
