Sad.

I only fished the ditch once and I was using straight eggs (no weight) and eggs under a float.

Sleighed 'em. Was fun watching the float "twitch" on the light egg bites. Set the hook like there was no tomorrow and that poor nookie got a hook in the tip of the nose! Ouch!

The flat-lined eggs were hard to fish. Hard to pick up the subtle bites, but you could do it. Downside was that as soon as you tried to reel back up your line, you almost always belly snagged a nook. Was kinda funny trying to reel in as slow as possible as to NOT snag a fish...saying "please don't snag up...please don't snag a fish" as you were reeling in.

Too bad people don't know how to fish. Like the Skok, the ditch would be a great float-n-egg fishery.
