Excellent video!! A few years back, a good friend with a stupidly successful fishing record said to me , "When you cast that floating or suspending plug, just leave it there for as long as you can bear to do so. Why? Because its like someone ringing your door bell. How many times are you gonna get up and answer the door if every time you go look, there's no one there?? To a fish, the sound of something lightly splashing into the water will be more like a dinner bell". Same with if something bumps the lure, leave it there. So I thought I would invest an evening on trying what he said and sure enough, I caught what I truly believe was more fish as a result and my own catch results have improved, thanks mainly to his advice. As it happens, he also told me (in the same conversation) to match the actions of the hatch. Not just the colour scheme, size and shape. He told me the same as you have here, that even in current bait fish will try to use as little energy as possible and often appear to be just sitting there in the water. Not darting and diving all over the place.
Great comment Andy. You're absolutely right. Presentation is everything. It matter more than any other factor, beyond having to actually have fish in the spot. Thanks again for watching and your nice words!
