lack of blitzes?

I enjoy the certainty of a blitz.

It is even more enjoyable to catch a fish in a quiet location you found on your own. Especially when trying a new technique. For example, this year I caught my first striper on a pencil popper. Before I caught the striper, I never thought a fish would hit anything on the surface. Now I prefer the pencil popper over anything else.

there's not much in life i enjoy more than taking out my nephews/neice out for a little "mindless bailing". i'm just saying there isn't alot of surface feeds going on in my neck of the woods compared to years past.
