Yep what KFhunter said.  In the video they were spawning in the flooded trees so they were right under the surface of the water or surfacing to suck air.  Sometimes they go so shallow their back are out of the water.  I have not tried any deep shots but Tim Wells shoots them a little deeper.  I am getting easy passthrough at the surface so I could probably still shoot a 12-18 inches under.

I havent tried it so you could be right but these are longer fishhawk darts and I am shooting pretty close.  I cant shoot 10 yards out and 2 feet down.  More like a couple yards and a steeper angle.  The dart itself is like 10 inches so you really dont lose much until the cone hits.

You must have mastered the art of sliding feet

I dont know what that is.  I fish from a kayak and float right up to them.  During spawn its easier to get close.  Open water I have to let them come to me. 

KFhunter:
Oh good, I was a wader.

You had to slide your feet through the muck, if you picked them off up off the bottom and set them back down, even slowly, it changed the water pressure and they'd bolt.


Kinda like banging the side of your kayak with a paddle on your approach.
