[quote pontoonman]Well revrusty, one thing is retrieve lost lures which the big boats and shore fishermen can't get to. Some of my nicest ones, which I wouldn't spend $5+, have been retrieved from overhanging tree tips near shorelines. I rarely lose a lure because I can move from every direction quickly and hover over or near an otherwise inaccesible area. Most trips are net postitive on rescued lures that are known to hook more fish for that specific area![/quote]
You got that right, Pon! I always scan limbs for that reason. And the lures tend to be ideal. Yes, it's unusual for me to lose one of mine. Some days, when I don't catch any fish, I catch a Rapala and call it a success.
As for more tips, I guess I wishfully think there are some additional benefits to fishing from a float. I've noticed a few, but I've been all by myself in this type of fishing, definitely trial and error, working on things that hamper me, adapting and finging a better way. I've never fished with another tuber and only compared notes online. My hope is others, brighter and more experienced than me, have noticed more benfits and/or techniques.
