I got a spot...

It holds fish.
But people who wish to fish it cant get to it cause they would be standing in +12" of water and risk a dunking ... I studied the area using satelite photos. I walked around it a bunch of times at dead low tide. Comparing the shifting sands and mud to the visible current from the low tide before.

(Got to do something while you are feeding the seagulls)

I know where to stand and where to cast so my bait drifts into where there should be fish.

(never mind that the damn fish still are hiding and teasing by stealing my bait - no, not crabs. I have pulled them in to have the striper happily chomping a fraction of an inch BELOW the hook!!!.)

I have noticed a LOT more people fishing the same area.
They must have seen me over the last year studying it.
I also found a well beaten path very near my treasure trove.
However, when the tide or weather turns... so do they.


IT takes more than jsut a spot with fish to catch fish.
They will get tired and leave to the next hot spot.

Me? I am a fool in the rain still trying to figure out how to get them damn fish onto my line as I watch the tide go up and down. up and down. up and down.

There is a fine line that seperates a fisherman from a fool standing in water swinging a stick.

will cook for food
...and plugs
