QUOTE: He also made a great point about jerk bait fishing, fishing the bait behind the boat. This is a technique that Buster always does, and the way I caught ever fish I caught the other day on the Stain Reaction. That bait was just trailing me and I would just turn its head. Every bite came when it was just sitting.
I struggled the other day with boat control trying to fish the stick bait on a heavy wind blown bank. I was on fish and managed to catch a few, but was not presenting the bait properly. Pete's tip and Bill's mention of his experience in his post are the solution. By keeping the nose of the boat into the wind you can control the movement of the boat and therefore of the bait, hence the bait is trailing behind the boat. Great tip Pete and Bill!
