Thing #1: The tide was rising but the water was definitely moving WEST to EAST. I think it’s because the wind was out of the NW.
Thing #2 and 2.5: I probably sucked at this. I lost ZERO lures and was only snagged a handful of times. In hindsight, subconsciously not wanting to go through the headache of losing lures I was retrieving too fast. Also, in hindsight, I have no business fishing the trestles if I’m not willing to pay the price of frustration with losing lures there.
Lesson learned.
Thing #7: Yeah, I’m confused then on the reason the water was moving WEST to EAST. I’m wracking my brain on this. But I was parked on the East side of the tracks. And when I spotlocked, my kayak pointed into the wind in a northwest direction, toward the tracks. .
When I cast toward the trestles, into the wind, it would push my lure back toward me.
Thing #8: He was doing the same thing I was doing. Casting toward the trestles and retrieving with the current. Soft plastics.
Thing #9: I suspect this as well. And, once again, I understand the “marketing” aspect of his. I just don’t want to get distracted from learning actual good technique.
Thank you, Captain.
