0:56
out of the trip lingcod lots of rock
0:59

1:02
for a little bit but yeah this video I
1:05
want to I want to show and I want to
1:07
talk about the importance of having a
1:08
drift plan a lot of times when you're
1:10
when you're targeting bottom fish you
1:13
were focused on you know a rocky area
1:15
you're focused around structure in this
1:18
case a reef off of kayak a point that we
1:22
were really keying in on ya for success
1:25
it's really important to have like a
1:26
great drift plan so that you can cover
1:29
all of all the water really effectively
1:32
and have lots of success all right so
1:35
what are we talking about with the drift
1:36
plan so what you see here is actually
1:39
the the map or the tracking feature of
1:43
my Navionics app and it shows basically
1:47
where I've been and I use this while
1:50
while we're drifting to give me an
1:53
indicator of whether the path I'm on is
1:55
going to cover right over like the most
1:58
optimal part of the reef that I want to
2:00
fish and so it's really important to
2:03
pick up and move if you're drifting the
2:06
wrong way and you know exactly where you
2:09
want to be in that drift where you're
2:10
catching fish where you're marking fish
2:13
make sure you lined up with the tides
2:15
and currents to do exactly what you want
2:18
to get into the fish can you check where
2:24
I am in the drift here as I feel like
2:27
the tide is like changing a bunch
2:31
oh yeah we're drifting the other way it
2:33
did change take us the other side and
2:36
get back this way we're kind of off the
2:38
