This picture was taken in 1991, that's my son Marcus who is now 25 years old wearing my hat. As you can see I started fishing with my rods up over 25 years ago, so it's not something that's new to me. Things like this can be just fashion of course but as I said a few posts ago I consider using the the rod setup also as part of the trap by enabling the rig and the lead system to perform differently. Just recently over the last few sessions I have been pushing this to the limit and with some astonishing success. However as with anything you push to the limit you always find the edge and so have i. So this week I will be taking all that I have learned through my successes as well as my mistakes and dialing it back a bit, fine tuning it. This for me is what fishing is really all about, finding a method, getting it to work and hopefully bagging a few before it all changes.
