Something I have wondered about allot.
Heres a story I recently heard on a video with Dave Lane about a couple of Carp he watched while up a tree....
He had his baits in a clear spot in some weed, this being an almost vertical hole down to the bottom in deep (12 foot) of water with very high weed all round. Two fish ambled into the swim, one went down the hole and started to feed right over his baits. The other however appeared hesitant and stayed up on top of the weed, Dave became convinced this fish had seen him. The fish then did a small jump…flopping out of the water with a splash. The other fish stayed out of sight down the hole. A short while later the hesitant fish did a second bigger jump, almost clearing the water & splashing down heavily. ….still the other fish stayed down the hole out of sight ..Dave expecting a run at any second. Finally, the hesitant fish did an almighty leap …clearing the water and Ba-dooshing down smacking its tail as it went…the Carp down the hole immediately sped out of the weed joined the other Carp, they touched flanks and sped out of the swim in unison.
It does make you think !
