Something people don’t know about me: I served 26 years in the Air Force and supported various high profile aircraft including the presidential support fleet as an aircraft mechanic. I fish as many benefit tournaments as I possibly can afford to support the positive efforts of others. I love working with the youth on an on-going basis; they secure the future, and their smiles are “priceless.”
Pro’s Pointers: Always look for the active feeders. You can stimulate a reactive bite and go after the bigger fish after you have your limit. The bottom line is to let the fish tell you what they want; you can’t force-feed them.
