At this point in my life and I am an old gzer, I am addicted to the thump and personally think it takes more skill to catch them this way rather than multiple poles, multiple hooks dragging through the water. Seriously now guys, we are all fishermen and all this amounts to nothing more than opinion and we all know the old saying about those. Looks like to me somebody who is in the know needs to make some quality decisions and get some stuff done to protect what we all love.
