I find it Odd that many many fisherman like to give the off the Idea that all they know they learned by themselves from spots to gear you name it . I am sure some of this knowledge is self taught but not as much as some peoples ego's would have you believe. Take the Canal the 1st 1 year I fished that place was a struggle the 2nd year I got smart I watched took mental notes what lures what times tides yes even pole numbers to match against a map an old timer gave me .
I improved by trial and error and brute force and long hours and observing others better than Me at jigging or pencils now i can hold my own be more efficient with my time and have better results
So I thank anyone whom I spied on to improve my ability's
and those who were willing to say use one of theses you ain't catching #^&#^&#^&#^& with that . Because if your one of theses whom think your an elite fisherman fishing alone in the dark worried about your spots I think your missing the point of fishing and the enjoyment of fishing with others who share your passions
