Hey! Nice video!!! I'm curious about your "strategy" to walk the bank with a backpack and 3-4 rods... I have an issue that I usually stay in one place and don't move/walk too much: maybe bc I'm too lazy, or bc I think "the fish will bite on the next cast" so I need to stay there (aka FOMO), or bc I usually don't have a lot of time to fish.... or a combination of all of them. But I'm trying to practice and forcing myself to walk along the bank, sometimes around the whole pond, and cover as much water as I can. But I found really hard to do this with multiple rods... backpack is fine, bc I can keep it on my back the whole time, but multiple rods is just super annoying: leaving the rods, making some casts, walk maybe 20-30 feet, and then come back to get the rods.... So how do you deal with that? Any tips?
Personally I like to cover ground just because the fish typically hold in like 3-4 different spots at my ponds so I like to try and at least spend like 10-15 minutes in those spots if I have time. The multiple rods is a pain Ngl but it’s faster then stopping to retie 3-4 times if I’m not sure what they’re eating, if I can get on a pattern I like to take my rods back and just fish with 1 rod plus the backpack because it’s way more efficient. I usually like to setup my bag and the rods I’m not using in a spot then fish the bank within like 30 feet of that then switch rods and repeat until I decide to try a different spot on the pond or decide to tie on a different bait. Also in my experience if I don’t get a bite in a specific part of the pond within like 30 minutes either none of the baits I’m using are working or the fish aren’t holding where I’m fishing.
