Hopefully this Monster Tech Tips area will eventually become a great place to find posts and pieces about some of the more technical aspects of fishing, both discovered by the Monsters, and by any others wanting to share. Now, there will be a little tongue and cheek stuff here too (that happens with us) but eventually lots of really useful stuff too. So here’s one to start.
Monster Tech Tip: Finding a good hot spot when your out fishing is important, but equally important is being able to defend your position from other encroaching fishermen. Their added presence will only cause disturbances that will spook your fish. One of the key skills for doing this is being able to spot them as they approach, and then warding them off with dirty looks or a few well thrown rocks. They can be sneaky, so keen eyesight is critical. Below is a tool I developed to help you train your eyesight. It’s called “Spot The Redneck”. As you scroll down, you will see a picture that could be a hot spot where you have planted yourself. Somewhere in the picture will be another fisherman trying to sneak in on you–the Redneck (Monster brother Dean filling in here). Try to spot him as quickly as you can. It won’t be easy, but he’s in there somewhere. Once you do, you will be on your way towards training your eyes to quickly spot potential intruders, and to defending your hot fishing spots effectively.
