get used to it til you get really good...i have several friends who quit salmon fishing because they got skunked alot...but with anything, you'll only get better and better

if it happens like that again where no one is catching anything, just move to a new hole

Don't feel bad. We only touched one fish today as well. They were hiding out somewhere, but not where we were, and we were traveling. It was a tough day.

so what do bites typically feel like? so far in my experiences its really just a pause, the lead stops ticking across and the rig just stops, is this the typical "bite" (corkie yarn rig)

Either the pause or as your ticking bottom , it will feel like a couple of rapid ticks.....
