[quote pontoonman]I just like to go where powerboats can't go, or won't be present, when I'm out. Payoffs are big in areas that receive low pressure, even if you just count the release and freedom that beauty and quietness of nature bring. Sometimes the only way to get to these areas is by float tube.[/quote]
Pon, I couldn't agree with you more. Well put! People ask me if I'm afraid when nobody else is around in case I need help, but I don't think of it that way. I've been fortunate and haven't yet gotten into any trouble the Lord and I couldn't handle, but I love the peace and quiet when nobody's around and I'm a stealthful full-contact participant, not merely a trolling visitor. And here in Virginia, the stark beauty of secluded places makes me
even when they're not biting. The things I see up close, eye to eye: a family of playful deer, curious beavers, thirsty cows.
But I digress: Certainly you have developed techniques that might help us hook into more fish. What specific tips come to mind?
