Steve GensonGuestJeffHostWhich is kind of ironic that you mention that.
I was talking to Taylor Flannery about that recently.
You know, we were, we were just talking about fishing up in the Northwoods and, you know, like there's pressure, right? I mean, I'm not saying it's been ridiculous, but, like, just an- enough boats.
I was out on, you know, Sunday morning and I must have been six, seven muskie boats and it seemed like, you know, my...
The first spot I go to, all right, there's somebody there.
And the second spot I go to, all right, there's somebody there.
So I just kept moving down the line.
And I told him, I...
And then, like I, then I, I would g- I, I finally hit those...
You know, I went back to spot A and, and, and spot B or whatever and I was like, "I'm just not moving a lot of fish off those spots." I said, "I wonder if I gotta start," like you said, "extending the spots."

Right.
It's those fish that are in those other spots that aren't seeing the constant barrage that you may have a higher percentage or a higher, uh, possibility of getting those fish to trigger because they aren't seeing as many lures, aren't as pressured, blah, blah, blah.
So we have to fool them, right? They, they don't need to eat our stupid presentations because they have plenty of food, natural food to eat.
Yep.
