Question; why is everytime I.......

[FARRIER]

So I have been fishing the ocean for a very short time compared to most all of you and I have been pondering things to improve my game. So I came up with a few questions for you pros regarding techniques. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. In regards to soaking bait, when a school comes by are you cranking up and repositioning towards the school traveling to you?
2. Many times ill be trolling bait and see something interesting on the meter and use the yoyo a bit, cast the surface iron a bit and then move on. Many people talk about soaking bait. A you just fishing your bait rod for a few minutes at a time or longer?
3.For all you that live in an apartment like me and dont have access to a hose what are you doing to wash down your gear? I have a pesticide sprayer that I refill and use for just about everything. Does anybody know
any other good was of washing your stuff down?
Thanks you all. Patrick
