A lot more smoke on the water

With some wind and a pretty good algae bloom = TOUGH seeing fish but I did see a few rooters

A bit more on the "tough" conditions today. Today, the smoke and waves shortened the distance from first sighting a fish. I stand on the center thwart straddling the boat seat - this gets my eyes about 7-feet above the lake surface. Great when you can spot the fish 40 or 50 or 60 feet away. Not so great when that distance is 20 feet - I don't know how many fish I spooked today raising my casting arm. Oh, the ripple effect: one carp spooks and it spooks all the others. Rant over. It's fishing.

So what do the pro’s do?

Side arm it like in baseball?

or is it more like the stealth stream fishing where one approaches on their knees?
