I think that’s a really good question and I bet you get a variety of answers. For me it certainly depends upon the bite at that time. Last time out they were spooking easily and I was probably running about a 4:1 ratio but for two hours that afternoon, after the wind switched and I changed areas, I literally caught every fish I dropped on and I was targeting only larger fish. If the wind and my TM skills align where I can hold it in their face for a while then I might catch 1 of every two I drop on. TM expertise is, I think the most telling variable in determining a high success ratio- which explains my low numbers. Also- frequency of thumps is, as always, inversely proportional to wind velocity, which should keep me home on windy days- it should.
