[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 97815, member: 1485"] I used to think that, but I fished very hard in 2009 (5 days a week minimum) along a stretch of river by the north landing in Grand Forks. I got it down to where I knew exactly where to cast to avoid snags, and often made it work with only one or two a trip. If I went 10 minutes without getting bit, it was a slow morning. That was the year I won the King of the Cats championship with 177 inches (Length and Width) for my three largest channels. If I was snagging, I wasn't catching fish...I was losing them. It was critical to get those casts just right so I could haul in those 20-pounders without getting caught up in all the garbage lining the river. Around Fargo, I just haven't been able to find that same consistency. I typically "shadow cast" with just a no-roll sinker and no leader to get an idea of where to place my offerings. I've lost so many sinkers without even getting a hook wet it's not funny. But I also haven't totally explored around here, either. I'm sure there's some place that isn't completely coated with trees, old Model Ts and filth. [/QUOTE]
