You guys are making very valid points.
Especially you Saltheart, who probably spoke for everyone when you said that if I was able to get me butt to one of the get-togethers, I'd feel more comfortable asking for and getting pointers.
Also, I never said I was looking for super-secret, super-productive spots. I just want to avoid a situation where I'm completely wasting my time by fishingat a spot under the absolute worst conditions. Believe me, it's not the catching for me, it's about being on the water and smelling the salt air. If you knew how few fish I catch off the beach each saeson, you'd know for SURE that I'm not in this for the meat...
For example, there is a very popular spot near where I grew up called the "West Haven Sand Bar". Lately, it has gotten incredibly popular in the spring as a spot where the shore angler can terget, and at times expect many hook-ups with, weakfish. Having grown up there, I know that fishing that spot below mid-tide is an absolute waste of time.
With that in mind, when people ask me about the West Haven Sand Bar, I always, always, always tell them not to waste their time by going at low tide. General tips like that are all most serious wanna-be's like me are looking for. And I don't feel like I'm jeopardizing that spot by giving someone who might spend all day driving to get there, a pointer like that.
