I'm posting this in case there are one or two others who are restricting themselves as I have done.
I was one of those guys too and I didn't even do anything if it wasn't close to the bank where I could see the wood! Its a whole lot more fun now doing it many different ways for sure! There are many ways to catch a slab now for sure!
