Good to hear BF because the same thing happened to me last year. Started fishing with a friend who would always tell me about this spot or that spot and how it used to be at this tide on that moon on this day. My productivity evaporated. I tactfully went back to my old style. I definetly pay attention to tide cycles and wind/baro pressure but didn't micro manage or bullshiite it too much and I was right back on track.
Not that I was slaying 40+ #'ers but I was hitting the 15-30 lb fish that I had been for the past decade.
The reason I ask those questions is because this year has been good. I wonder if it is because the fish are farther south in my neighborhood or whatever. I don't know. I have had my off nights but they were still fun.
I am sad to hear some are struggling to find the fish.
Keep plugging away and don't be afraid to change your old standby plugs and learn how to swim new ones. The surf howdies i got from Joe last year have been the BEST producing plug thus far
