You guys are crazy! I am a pieces, but that is the only fishy part of me! I just got a lot of practice in when i was a wee, and even now I manage to fish quite a bit. But the regular drift fishermen here are all pretty productive guys. I think, I just happen to post a lot about it is all. But I am more than willing to help out as needed, but the most you can do is fish, get your time in, "pay your dues" as some say. No dues need to be paid, just get out, and fish until you find strikes, and analyize what, when, why, how...You know the ins and outs of why that fish took your stuff right then, and there...Keeping a very detailed, concise fishing log has helped over the years, to find what works best for me, as it is going to be different for everyone. Welcome to the site, and maybe this year there could be an OFF slatwater slaying trip. There are a few members out there, who have the real know how. I can, and have managed a 33' Striper, and hooked a bunch of Tuna, but it might be cool to really get the decks bloody with a crew of members with the know-how. Tuna fishin gets out of control!
