ahh horseshoes..
I dont know #^^^^^^&... its one thing to catch a nice fish once in a while, but its another thing to catch consistantly. Any good surfcaster will tell you that if you put your time in you will catch fish, and you will, but if you put your time in and fish with an educated game plan based on tides, wind direction, current directions and migration patterns of the bass and the bait, you will always come out on top.
oh and eels help too. I made a promise to myself that i wouldnt kill any eels this year, but i might have to resort to using a few and releasing them at the end of the night
