As we enter upon the season for fast movers and faster moving boats a word of wisdoim to all. You can't catch them - they go 0-40 in 20 yards, you can't.
Idle towards them if their close and try and egt in front of them and let them come to you. If you must run and gun, make it a long one, run a mile away from the crowds to a new pod where no one is at.
The best strategy is to pick a spot along a contour line, I like a depth break in the 8-12 foot range and hang there waiting for the bones to come to you.
I figure in 3 hours of bone-hunting I'll get 10 good casts into breaking fish whther I'm running and gunning, idling, or simply paarked at one of my favorite spots.
One thing I learned last summer was to watch guides who knew - jamie Boyle, Leslie Smith, Doug Jowett all seem to consistently hook their clients up. You rarely see any of those guides move at more than 10 knots even when bones are breaking a hundred yards off.
Seems to me if the pro's who know take it easy; I might as well emulate them also.
