Stealth is under rated by many. The biggest feature on most waters is the margins ignore at your peril !!

I often do the same on rivers and drains... the margin is usually the best or only feature on some drains I fish with lures.Mark Phillips wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12 2022 20:18 -Should do Mark, but many rush to the edge and cast straight across first.Oldskoolfool wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06 2022 10:45 -The great thing about lure fishing from the bank, is you fish the margin on every castStealth is under rated by many.
