The reason is simple your float fishing rig is hovering just above the weed line and snags, branches,logs plant roots etc. If i am casting 20+ metters,it doesnt stuck and not snagging,but 14-18m snagging,i might have to go back on kayak fishing,first time i been on kayak 79 days on MI but if i had 2 unique daily i was lucky,there is always + and - on bottom. well i am just mad because i have 3 unique spots and daily taking out on same 4 rod casts 4 uniques same time.Well i lost like 200 shiners but from other side,on bottom daily on sunny days got 8 unique and 8 trophy + pikes and mix/cloudy 6 uniques minimum on pikes but those snags :(ĭid you find new unique spot on other place then the one everyone using close to reeds? I get virtually no snags and even in my snagging spots it was only 1 of 10 at worst. IMO, you are losing entirely too many bait to this and it makes me wonder if you're doing something wrong. Originally posted by Geauxboy:A few of my pike spots in MI are not usable with bottom fishing because of snagging, so I had to go through all my spots until I found a few places that don't have so much snagging problems.
