Just thought I would throw this out, hopefully it helps somebody.
Had a young group of gentlement out today with limited Fluking Experience.....gave them some verbal instruction at the dock and then on our first couple drifts showed them what needed to be done.
The Key is:
MOVEMENT OF THE BAIT/BUCKTAIL
KEEPING REEL IN FREE SPOOL WITH THUMB ON IT TO DROP BACK WHEN YOU FEEL THE BITE
After three or four drifts these boys were fishing like pros and rods were bent all the time.
One spot we were at the boys were pulling up fish after fish, while the guys next to us, who was dead sticking 3 lines was doing nothing.
He yelled over "Hey what bait are you using?" Yelled back, movement is the key pick up a rod and fish. He didn't like that answer and motored away after giving me a dirty look, without hooking a fish I might add.
We could fill pages on what bait, rig, bucktail, etc should be used but Movement and feel are
most important.
But Chartruse Gulp with a White bucktail and a Spearing have been killing the FLuke for us.
