That first cast deal ruined my trip Saturday, Took my wife's 83 year old uncle out for short ride for him and a couple hours of fishing/ learning the new ultrex for me. Started at 11:30 on channel swing into an island grey green water with tea stained riffles, threw a jerk bait up close to bank jerk it down paused it, jerk pause, jerk jerk pause, felt it load up set the hook and fought for 10 feet. Uncle said that's a good fish about that time it was gone. How a fish can not get hooked on a jerk bait amazes me. Spent 2 more hours with nothing. Always make short cast and get it in boat quickly, then start your day fishing.
