When I started the hardest thing for me to learn was drift angle.

The built in rod holders weren’t always what angle I needed. I had OEX Sunset put on adjustable rod tubes and that made a world of difference.

I match the baitfish speed and direction and improve my catch success. Sometimes I will use my paddle to slow a bit.

I drop shot on height above the grass line as well. That can be variable based on speed, angle, and depth.

Bravery is asking questions.

At least you are fishing. Wish I could come back sad from being on the water.

Fish the bays and harbors. You would be surprised what you catch in there.
