Well, the Duct continues to provide me with a challenge. I've tried a few times now and still can't figure that body of water out. 15 minutes after arriving all gates opend full and that made things interesting. I've read a lot of posts on the forum to try to dial in on what to do there, but no joy. Since all of my fishing has been lakes and ocean, a body of moving water with no rocks at the bottom it quite an animal. And just when you think there is nothing down there you snag three of you lines there and rip everthing off. The current is strong enough that you can't bait and wait and fishing topwater wears you out pretty fast if you have had shoulder surgery. I think I spend 8 hours on it between Friday night and Saturday morning. Seems like I had one bite on the Zara and that was it. They didn't hit anyting else for sure. I had some livers out that bounced a couple of times, but not sure they were bites. The current plays with your head. So for now I'm goint to continue to study the situation and wait for an opportunity to learn from soneone experienced on that body. It just goes to show that telling isn't enough in some cases. I have to be shown...(hard headed?).
