i dont know i alsp have a vex and didnt mark a damn thing i have never been fishing in my life where i didnt atleast mark a single fish . I know as a fisherman that you will have those days but i know now that i will never drive two hours to fish there again!
i was on indian today and i had some what the same problem, there was a hole about two to three feet from my shanty if that and people thought it was kool to fish it when there is a whole lake right there
it's thick enough to try for those ten pounders! i have fished with Jeff for along time and if it wasnt safe he would not have any people out there. so if you want to join the ten pound club i would get your gear ready and give jumpy a call!
