It's been a month since I last wrote. It's been kinda busy, and I am waiting for the season to start. Meanwhile I could write a bit about marker work.

Knowing the underwater features is a must, especially if you are fishing in unknown waters. Going around the lake and searching for the suitable swim can be an experience of a lifetime, so mobility is the key. The secret is: Telescopic rods. I mean I have been using a telescopic rod for marker work for a long time. No need to carry the two-piece rod through dense shrubberies. Just a short tele-rod with the marker float and the feature-finding lead already attached. A lot easier...

Prebaiting is a crucial thing here as I mentioned in my earlier blog. Prebaiting needs to be somewhat accurate, so I always use a marker to pinpoint the prebaiting spot. I make the prebaiting trips usually just after work, so I have to be able to use the car normally. The telescopic marker rod can be easily fitted in the car trunk or the backseat. No need to reserve the front seat for the 2-pcs 12' rod...
