Now you feel my shore pounder blues...
Today I was in a hurry in the morning and tried to consolidate tackle quickly so things were pretty light,but it sure is different when you fish from shore. Standing and trying to cast in tight spots and then realizing that a lot of the baits I normally bring to the river were left at home. My problem is that if I planned to fish from shore, I would probably take so much tackle that I think I would need that I would need a cart or wheelbarrow to haul all of it...ha ha It was something definitely different, especially walking over things and standing the whole time but I had fun.
Anyway....Hats off to you and all the guys who shore pound as it is not easy.
Tight lines always
You are right...I bring a full compliment. Three different boxes with hard baits, spinners and jigs, and plastic setups (hooks of 40 types, lots of assorted weights, and a few plastics) and then the rest of the backpack is jammed with 2 extra rods, and every worm i have ever caught a fish on...and maybe, if there is room, a fig bar and a bottle of water.
And...every time I start with whatever I just know will work...surface, crank, spinner, jig and throw it until my arms are tired, and then I put a weightless texas worm on for most of the rest of the time. So, if you are keeping score, that would be 2 baits that would have fit in my shirt pocket...
I may never learn...and that is ok!
