Good stuff, thanks for the quick tips!!

[@MuskyMastery]

Thanks Dean! I have more quick tips on the way this week!

Great tip I try and throw say 3 casts in then a cast ahead for, I cant remember your term, but checking or investigation cast, then I usually chuck one out deeper to try and cover all bases. Thanks for the episode great stuff Keep em coming

If you have multiple people in the boat you can do both at the same in the right conditions. Sometimes we even do three ways, one perpendicular to shore one parallel to shore and one perpendicular away from shore. That way you're covering the shallow, mid/edge and deep bites at the same time.

@@timweisensel2775 absolutely!! That is the ultimate way to fish a shoreline. No area goes untouched! Excellent stuff

I try not to perpendicular cast because baits can leave the strike zone for too long, unless I believe the entire cast is the strike zone. I prefer fan casting- that covers both perpendicular and parallel & then some. Keep the boat moving & my fan cast angles shrink because if it doesn't, then too many casts are just recasts over the same area that didn't produce fish to begin with. Parallel or perpendicular doesn't really matter to me as long as I'm avoiding casting in whatever direction the boat is moving, because then all I'm doing is putting the bait where previous casts were unproductive. There's also a "reverse perpendicular" for a lack of other words to consider. Butt up the boat tight against the shoreline, and cast deep to shallow. Won't always work but sometimes it gets a net wet. Sometimes a deep runner comes in from suspended depths to bumping some cover/structure & can catch a fish's attention because of the extra ruccus going from deeper to shallow (that reverse perpendicular)
