Short Water ....

[Ketchn]

I have a few bank spots I like to visit around town . They are short water spots for the most part . I hit them on lunch breaks and sometimes a bit before and after work . Now mind you these spots get VERY heavy fishing pressure here in the metroplex area and the fish tend to be difficult if you don't really tune up your presentations .
So I employ things I have personally found to be rather effective and make sure my set ups don't look like all the rest of them . Light line is a must and smaller baits in many cases as well .I do know it also helps immensely to use a one point float that sits just right in the water .This said I use pinch on floats in the quill variety to detect the frequently very subtle bites and to ensure the most sensitive presentation on my jigs .
It has always amazed me that some folks don't get it on this set up , but to be sure those that get to see me in action hit the store pretty fast after they watch an episode and or get a float and a jig from me . Some are to proud to admit it and some think its a fluke , but to be sure it is the real deal and it is really a great way to hit fish after you get tuned up on it .
Anyway I have hit them pretty hard this last week and this is my first chance to post up a few photos and a short right up .
as always hope you enjoy the read and photos
