A ROLL of the DICE!

I like to think of fishing as a game. Sometimes you are on your game and other times you are not. Even though there are lots of scientific factors envolved and lots of personal knowledge, the actual art of catching fish is a true game of chance. Its a roll of the dice! We can up the odds in our favor by studying and practice. I read every article that I can get my hands on to absorb any information that others deem important to the sport. Many times I get new ideas and sometimes not.
An example was today I read an article in SaltWater Sportsman about using topwaters in the Carolinas. The first thing I realized was that what they were writing could just as easy been written for the LLM. The techniques and lures are no different than those used by us in South Texas.
I did see a new idea that just might work down here....fishing topwaters in tandem.
Not really new, but I've never tried it!
How many of you can remember using a poping cork with shrimp tails back in the 60's. I used to have trout blow up on the cork almost as often as on the shrimp tail!
In fact I remenber as a teen fastening a treble on the cork and actually hooking a few trout. I wonder who actually started using topwaters for trout and redfish. It was not something you saw in the 60s or 70s. I'm glad someone did...it continues to be my favorite technique.
I'm going to follow up on the techniques I use with topwaters later.
