Skip; I do enjoy the game
. Before I became a serious fisherman, I was an avid quail hunter. I always took note of where we found birds. I tried to figure out why they were in roosting areas, feeding areas, or loafing areas. What made them look for water or grit to help digestion of their food. What food source did they prefer (soybean, corn or milo)? How far would they range from their roosting areas? What other predators were they trying to avoid and what type of cover did they seek?
The above is a sample of the questions I tried to answer then, and try to answer now with rockfish. Some of the questions have changed, but there is still a thrill in finding out the answers
