strong tide rips
Posted: Sat Nov 10, 2018 10:12 am
Hi.
New to estuary fishing so dont know what im doing
Was fishing the shannon estuary (cappagh) last night and blanked again but one common thing i realised that i was doing that could be wrong.
When i cast out on some spots a strong tide rip may drag my lead and line 40 feet (maybe more) before finally getting a grip (but this will result in my line being super tight and still kind of stuck in a current).
do i want my bait to be in this rip or should i reel back in and cast else where?
was just thinking seems like alot of work for a fish to swim against that current to get at my bait
sorry for the annoying posts just trying to learn. any advice much appreciated
