Casting a shadow
remember we are
above the fish in our
float tube. Something
taught to me years
ago is if you can see
the fish then they
already see you.
Basically as we all
know you cannot
really sneak up on
your target very
easily. Being that we
are above these fish
it is very important to think about the direction you come in on your target fish. Pay attention to the sun’s location and where your shadows are being cast. Your shadow should not lead you; it should be behind you as you approach your target fish.
Splashing around in the water. We are in the water but we are not at a pool party. It is very easy to splash around as we are racing to our spot or the boil nearby. Our fins need to stay under the water. Once they break the surface we are making unnecessary noise that alerts the fish we are
targeting. Also we should
not be snapping our
small tackle boxes open\
and closed and shoving
our gear into our side
pockets, just be
deliberate and gentle
about our movements in
and above our waters.
