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
I can appreciate your point but on the flip side you have the enjoyment of figuring out something for yourself that potentially no one else is aware of or on a position to take advantage of. For me that is one of the the most rewarding things about fishing the surf. And when you do figure something like that out it pays to keep it a closely guarded secret.
