No fish finder. I pack light for my marathon[pirate]. You ask how can this guy enjoy fishing while paddling all day. I guess we can ask the same question about why people like to run long distances. Thers somthin bout it iguess. I'll go back to the pig for sure this coming week. I have been considering vertical jigging, but eventually talk myself into doing what's familiar. At this point the slow fishing may coax some sort of desperate creativity. I recall that thread about a homemade ipilot sytem for hovering over a school, and the post that struck me the most was rockyraab's Judas fish. I have heard this old school method for crappie before, so I think it's time I try it out on the bluebacks. Should be just the ticket since I don't have any expensive electronics. I can hold a position EASILY with my flippers. It would only be a matter of following a baloon around.
About the population size, I tend to believe that the numbers are in there. Without a statement from somebody who works at DWR and has the equipment for sampling results, I have a hard time going with the crowd on a worst case scenario, but there is something to be said and understood about experience and knowledge from you veterans.
I'll post results from my experience fishing Judas this coming week (if Judas can even be caught).
Thanks again for the tips!
