Default Working the baits

Just thought how far from the boat you guy's work your lines.

Working your buzz baits, cranks ect....

I know evry time is diffrent but I want to know how comfortable you are on working the lines.What kinds of distance or do you like to work close up.

I'm talking flukes, tiki sticks, spinners, what is your comfort zone?

i like what i call hand to hand combat.most of the time i'm fishing 10-15 yds away if that.i'll cast far if i'm c-rigging deep water or if the water is ultra clear.otherwise i like to see the whites of their eyes so to speak.

Well it truly depends on how and what I'm fishing. If it's working the shoreline(which I do a fair amount) I will usually be skipping plastics which I will be within 20 yards or so, sometimes a lot closer, even 5-10 feet. If I'm fishing cranks or spinners or topwater for that matter I cast as far as possible. If I'm c-rigging, again I will usually cast as far as possible.

Mostly depends on whats being used. For the most part 10-20 yards is the max. 8)
