Attacking during a storm - why I like poor visibility!

The only thing to mind is the "reach" which is the distance the fish goes straight before turning to the prescribed bearing.

The bearing is based on the scope's location, so the farther the target is away, and/or the more extreme the turn the fish has to make the farther off the fish will be from your intended target.

If the target is far enough away/off axis, the fish will be on a perfectly PARALLEL course from the one you set, but will be offset enough to miss.

Key to this method is that the target is so close.
