[cool][#0000ff]Too bad about the inconsiderate boaters. Some folks just have no concept of finesse fishing. TubeBabe and I have had boats literally drop anchor right on top of one of us and then proceed to unload air mattresses, personal watercraft and noisy kids. Boaters often think that having a big and more expensive craft entitles them to take any part of the lake they want, without apology.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Hey Leaky, as long as you use those little finesse baits, and small hooks, you are going to have fish that swallow them. That's one of the reasons why you want to use larger baits and larger hooks. It helps keep the little ones off and the big ones from getting hooked so deep. I know, there is more action with the small stuff sometimes. You just have to make a choice.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]And, yes, I would just cut the line and at least try to give the greedy little buggers a fighting chance.[/#0000ff]
