Thread: Need some help please

Merdock, I have sent you a pm with my phone number. Call me anytime.

Thank you sir. I replied back

Not knowing how or what you were doing, I will tell you that most newbies frequently move the bait too much and too fast. When I first started the technique was referred to as the "Pitch and Glide". Pitch the bait at your target close the bail and hold the rod tip a little high so you can watch the line. When the bait hits bottom the line will fall to the surface. count as it falls til it hits bottom. Next cast start reeling ultra slow 2 counts off the bottom, then 3 and so on til you find the depth the fish are active at, then repeat. If the line does ANYTHING that you didn't tell it to, set the hook with a snap of the wrist. Look fora twitch or vibration, sideways movement, the line falling to the water when you know it isn't on the bottom(liftbite), or the almighty telltale thump that we all live for. Good luck and persistence overcomes.......

Thank you Skeet. I will give that a try
