After 2 or 3 beers he would call us in and ask where most of the switches were.
And that was where we would set up and start chiselling holes.
No flies on pop.
He had managed to burn off our exuberant energy so we weren't asking too many questions. He has time to enjoy a few beers before we started snagging and losing tackle and we usually were quite successful in our scouting.

Your Dads a smart man!
