Very much so, they are flash attracted so dragging a shiny spoon lure produces a visible chase and strike if the water is clear.
Excellent! Florida, here I come (assuming the wife does push me to do a
US trip in 2025)!
Speaking of a US trip, is it safe an convenient to travel with Amtrak? I
saw a documentary about the Crescent train
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_(train)
that goes from New Orleans to New York, and I would assume, from New
York to New Orleans. Can one trust this line without any delays?
Absolutely NOT!
Delyas.
Bus service at times in substitution.
And the interior of even a top Amtrak roomette is old and spartan and full of squeaks and rattles.
On the positive side the train personnel (mostly all black) are top notch, friendly, helpful and take their careers seriously.
An embryo of a trip has started to form. Fly in to New York, take that
train, and get off at various interesting places along the way (Virginia
beach?), after New Orleans, the question is... east or west? I'd really
like to go fishing in Florida but I also would like to eat steak in
Texas! Hmm... choices, so many choices. =(
Just bring a flexible schedule and lots of atience and on any gven day you should be fine.
Here's a trustworthy primer on Amtrak:
