I've just started this pushing method and you know until you catch one you are not quite sure how it will feel due to the 3 oz sinker.
So I tried to get caught, then get loose, the just barely go by a brush pile to see how well all that worked.
During that last part I found that you can control the Arkie very well especially as I was using my broadband sonar to give me warning that the bush was about to come into play. I use my structure scan ducer on a stick up front so when the brush comes into view you are there!

This is just showing the sinker and arkie on the BB &
DS although you don't see the arkie on DS due to the cone width.
