Also, like I had suspected, the current and tide made for a lot of adjusting through out the hunts he attempted.
He's not a rookie and he put in a ton of prep time, so he didn't want to give up. In the end, he said throwing 2 longlines, or even 4 lines was easier and, they don't require constant adjusting through out the tide cycles.
Yes, I can definitely see where a tide would give you problems. Where we hunt, it's more wind driven tide than anything else. And it definitely takes a few times deploying it to get the hang of it.
