Thank you for the tips everyone, I'll give the things mentioned here a try, and am headed out to buy a fixed float or two soon. Drift fishing is getting old and hopefully I now have enough information to float fish properly enough to be successful, thanks again. FYI I fish the central Oregon coast and have not found anyone else on this board in my area, maybe the folks up north know more about these aggrevating metalheads than we do down here!?
