I've had two hits from fish (big carp I assume).  In both cases, the bitter
end of the skeg control line (neatly tied in a chain sinnet for a hand grip)
was dragging in the water right next to the cockpit about an inch or so in
the water.  Makes me cautious about dragging my fingers in the water :-)
