344: Dont Strike out on Destinartion Trips

So, you know, the last couple of weeks, Jay, it's just been a kind of, dialing in or trying to help people dial in and and you know i was saying choose your own adventure a little bit last week right yeah yep choose your own adventure well just just spent a week with with old dr bob right so it's dr bob you know we we and we did some damage and the thing is this I'm hearing the same thing from everybody.

What's that? People are leaving camps early.

People are going to premier places and not catching fish.

Guess what, folks? It is not the same year as it was the year that Eddie caught the big one in the weeds.

Right? Oh, Eddie got a big one on the old Dunsky tail.

Right? Oh, frickin', if you don't have the, you know...

The purple flamer, or you don't have the Dunsky tail, or you don't have, it's not about the bait.

It is about proximity, and it's about being where you need to be when these things are predating, Jay.

Yeah, absolutely.

I agree.

I hear you.

And I'm just

saying, I'm seeing it.

It's echoed so much now.

And, you know, the worse it is, the more you hear it.

You know what I'm saying? When guys are shellacking, you don't hear it too much.

But it's interesting where...

It's funny you

mention that, Steve.

I mean, I'm at work right now at the Muskie shop.

Just a half an hour ago, I heard that story through a co-worker who just got back from Canada.

And he had...

The same kind of camp story you told.

He's like, you know, some guys actually left early because, quote, unquote, they weren't biting.

Well, and I mean, I just cat out of the bag here.
