Thread: I don't know how y'all do it

Sounds like a bad morning, I never fish Saturdays.

Saturday is about the only day I get to fish.... Sunday once in a while.

I am a Saturday fisherman as well. It is very frustrating to deal with, but it is what t is. I think the single pole jig fisherman will be on the endangered species list soon. I have never seen so many trollers in my life. How do they troll in shallow water areas where there are stumps everywhere?

We will never go away lol. I watched several guys trolling thru stake beds today and is fun to watch.

It takes time and experience, just like any other form of fishing. I can troll through areas that, on my depth finder, looks like a giant hair brush laying on the bottom.

I remember a few years back when Reelfoot got real low and everyone was talking about how you had to single pole and couldn't spider rig. I trolled right through them just fine. The stumps are there regardless if they're just under the surface or just above they're still there.

Stay at home or fish private lakes on the weekends, fish public during the week. However......these days seems as if nobody works anymore.

Called experience! A lot of years of seeing a bad situation and trying to find a way to make it better!I offer my help to folks anytime that need be.I have gotten help from others myself when I needed it.Grin and bear it!
