B'cause I don't need to carry heavy ground fishing gear, I carry my camera instead. Most of cameras has the self timers-if U set it for 10sec-takin pic for u self is very easy :)

I never tried ground fishin for bass but plannin this year :D For lure fishin luck is not enough-most important are the water clarity and the tides-loads useful info about it U can find on Jimy Hendriks web's

Tight lines is true-but I prefer spiderwires or dyneema fibres wires-U got low diameter and big strenght, and protection for sharp rocks edges
