Question on Fish movements?

[Hal Standish]

As fish toward the shallows is this when they susceptible to being caught? Or can they be caught when moving back to the deep? Can they be caught moving in either direction? Shallows or toward the deep>?

Well many my confusion is just that confusion...
When Buck talks about fish movement and fish being catchable. They can be caught moving toward shallower water? Can they also be caught moving back toward their sanctuary waters, the deep??

Yes, both ways as long as they’re moving - IMO. Easier to sit on the spot and wait for them to arrive, but many articles Buck wrote mention catching a final few on really long casts as the school moved away (back). Or even situations like the Florida breaklines where there really wasn’t a casting position, and you just had to hit them on the troll as they moved along the breakline/muckline on movements to and from the deep water. Now days, with good mapping and FFS, you can actually follow schools moving along migration routes if your timing is good, something that really wasn’t possible, or at least efficient, even just half a dozen years ago.
