CTX Session challenge

Margin work

Try something slightly different this session and log what you noticed.

the challenge

Fish at least one of your rods in the margins for the session.

Close in. Quiet. Often ignored.
But sometimes that’s where the action is.

what to do

• Place one rod along the margins 
• Keep disturbance to a minimum
• Choose a setup that suits the swim 
• Let the swim settle 
• Stay observant

This isnt about range its about awareness. 

what to log

• Where you placed the margin rod
• Why you chose that spot 
• How you kept disturbance low 
• Any changes you made

Photos help. Clear explanations earn more XP.
