You have the benefit of flat fishing and ability to see fish up close, but how you stalk without cover is beyond me!<br /><br />I get plenty cover but always from up high, difficult in it's own ways..<br /><br />Good luck with the 20/20<br /><br />RichardAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941989069497229867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20892133.post-49760524305575386642013-08-30T20:54:13.827-07:002013-08-30T20:54:13.827-07:00Your reminder to scan ahead is forever burned in. ...Your reminder to scan ahead is forever burned in.

Went to a local muck hole to see if I could spot some using these methods, and you're right: coloration changes in the water make fish stand out so much better. Being new to polarized optics, I was hoping to see full-bodied fish in great detail moving through the water, but no, they are mostly discolored, hump-backed blobs cruising pretty slow.<br /><br />Saw a bunch at this pond, ran to get my pole out of the trunk and snapped the tip off. <br /><br />Still happy I learned to "see" differently, though!

As important to me in seeing carp is to recognize carp activity, and use appropriate tactics for those unseen fish. I aggree with your sighting concepts. I can't help but wonder if I had yellow or brown lens for my coccoons for the early and late.<br /><br />GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.com
