This is where we differ P; last year this off big time when you found fish way to the west at that reef but I tend to beat the same dead horse repeatedly.....
isn't the definition of stupid doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result...
ChunkerII;
One overlooked thing so far is not to search and explore... return to what you KNOW works; if you've had success at a spot at a certain tide; go there, try it off tide, or try eels at a spot you always plug etc..
This year the fish havent been where I think they should be, and had a similar skunk stretch that PIemma had (probably cause I fish with him most of the time) and as much as 'thinking outside the box' might help, this week I returned to places I had overlooked and found fish..... this was a far from steller stretch of fishing, but the last few nights has been my best stretch of the year so far.... unfortunetly thats not saying all that much
Keep at it; I've been fishing since I was 5, and grew up as a boatfisherman who did some surffishing, but I really didnt get hardcore in the surf until the last 6 years or so and my goal every year is to catch more decent fish, and do that more consistantly; this has paid off, I have no wall-hangers but I do pretty well, set reasonable goals, if you expect a 50 everytime your gonna get frustrated quick;
MAC,
I was a golfer but gave it up cause I stressed too much about the scores etc.. fishing isnt like that, it's justsomething to enjoy and if you catch great, if not it is ALWAYS better than sitting on the couch, and youlearn something new EVERYTIME you go out... and that 1209 is a killer eel stick!!!!
