A last minute change in plans with the ex... in regards to the kids found me with a little time on my hands this evening...so as much as I love spending time with my daughters...I just had to make the most of it...
...within the first 10 minutes.8)
Find faster water...leave the dinks in the slack water alone.
Facing downstream and casting across current (to about 11 o' clock)
Do not reel any more than enough to pick up whatever slack may be in your line...just let the current move your lure directly downstream from you.
Focus on the subtle vibrations of your crank and anticipate the "tic"...sometimes a "thump"..and sometimes just a pause in the vibrations cadence.
If you feel it...set the hook.
Don't snap..don't twitch or jerk or impart any action or movement to the bait whatsoever as it inches across the current.
After 5 to 10 casts through an area... either switch lures or move on to another spot.
This pattern should hold for the next couple of days....so aren't you lucky it's the weekend?=)
Good Luck and...
