Nice vid, Jim.  Keep 'em coming! ..It looks like you were in an area of quite a few humps (I was watching the bottom structure).  Is that true or is it an optical illusion?

I always try to drift lines that have a variety of structure, and differing bottom content. It's the same thought process used while fishing. You try to guess what the fish are doing, and dive the better water. There are really less than a dozen different drifts I hit. We try to guess which of those would be the most productive for filming that day, and give it a shot.  It's fairly easy to wind up diving a featureless area and spend 2/3s of your dive looking at dead mussel shells, or a lengthy weed bed. You learn to be selective where you drop in.

...just like fishing, except you get to see the real thing.  All we see is the graph & feel the bottom.  thanks

Jim, Very Nice makes me want to go fish now!

Yeah, It's fun. And the two sports mesh together well. Diving helps your fishing as much as fishing helps your diving. 

Hey, John, you never Told me how your Clayton trip went. I was hoping you got a pike or two on the fly.  It would be a step on the path to a fly rod musky
