Very smooth indeed

Striped bass are aggressive and reckless, making them a perfect target for artificial lures

For most scenarios I fish about ten metres from the target zone and cast from the water toward the river bank aiming the fly as close to structure or shade as possible

Everyone has that ridiculous fire tiger crankbait in their box that simulates absolutely nothing in nature, but on some days in clear water it just works

Even if MotorGuide's troller was good, which I believe it was (and it was one of the lowest-priced), the fact that Lowrance came with screens and a connected troller was definitely the future
