I am extremely new and i could actually feel 3 of the ones i missed yesterday (cause i forgot to set the hook). Its alot different from fishing downriggers or in a boat, the first time i drift fished i had no clue what was a rock and a bite (still dont have half a clue). Did manage to get my first one yesterday on the Carbon (it was a humpie but it is good to know i did something right).
I would say 3-1 or 75% miss factor sounds about right. Given the angler has good direction. In fact, just getting one your first day is a fine accomplishment!
