It can be frustrating especially running several 16 footers trying to fight the wind. Once you dial in and kind of have your own system in place, it is great fishing when you have everything going your way. Last weekend I hung (FIVE) of my eight rods up on a stump bed "THAT I KNEW WAS THERE" at KY Lake, talking about trying your patients. I started out rigging with four rods and gradually increased the rods as I got more comfortable (several trips).
Good luck to you!
