We found fish very tight to cover in the example I have shown. Anyone ever fish this tight to cover.

I think Frabil has a tool for this.....Its a bummer when you partners thumb slips and you end up killing the whole spot getting out of this shoreline delema.[;)] [:bigsmile:]

As Bob Uecher says..."Just a Bit Outside"

Jason...If I had a dollar for every time I found them that tight to cover, I'd be fishing it right now as I'd already be retired!...[;)]

This is part of an overall presentation I call 'Natural Fishing'. One wakes up in the morning without the aid of an alarm and goes fishing when one feels ready--natural. One may or may not dress like Doc Esox sometimes does holding a muskie--Natural. One casts into the trees, then snaps the bait into the water from the tree, thereby convincing the most alert muskie that the bait is a fallen bird--Natural.

AND--most of all, one needs Jason in the boat for the most important natural detail of all, Natural Gas. If harnessed, one may power a generator to charge batteries, power a small lamp for night fishing, or just plain take advantage of the moment and send him flying into the tree to retrieve a naturally presented bait that got stuck.[:praise:] [:bigsmile:]

I have caught fish with the line hanging over a limb but the lure made it to the water. You're close to that at least.
