The Parson’s Perspective… Being Stealthy While Fishing

When it comes to inshore fishing, sometimes the difference between getting the bite and spooking the fish comes down to one thing: stealth.

In this edition of The Parsons Perspective, Topsail’s own Captain Lee Parsons explains why being quiet and minimizing disturbances on the water can make a difference when approaching and fishing productive areas. Paying attention to noise, movement, and your approach can help you avoid alerting the very fish you’re trying to catch.
