sometimes when the bite is slow your better off just staying put and take what comes . i tried chasing around for a better bite a couple of times with out it paying off . its sure has been a funny bite this year lite bite as mentioned and they seem to come 2 or 3 then nothing for awhile its also hard to keep your crew paying attention when the bite is slow when one finally comes you miss it when the the bite is on you stay more focused on things
