Many anglers quit fishing in the Winter

I can recall fishing out of Daytona Beach with my dad in our 24ft Hydra-Sport many years ago, and the two most (and only) sophisticated things on the boat were: A simple 2-way radio A really basic Lowrance Fishfinder (that we thought was the coolest thing since sliced bread back then) Nowadays, the GPS mapping and fishfinding capabilities on boats make what we had just 10 years ago look like a joke

I bomb cast it for long distances, and hop and dead stick it along the bottom in order to imitate a leech

The first words muttered out of each staff member's mouth when looking at the reel for the first time were, "what the heck is that?"

Inland freshwater anglers use monofilament and lead core for walleyes and salmon, Muskie & Pike anglers use low stretch braided super lines for trolling large plugs and spinners

For the anglers at the top of the standings, it was a slugfest on Pickwick
