I agree. I don't know what that "it" is either. I do a lot of surfcasting with the same group of 5 or 6 guys. Virtually every trip, the same guy(s) will outfish the other guys. Same water, same time, same lures/bait. But every time the same guy (or guys) will always out fish the others.
I consider a couple of them to be "sharpies" or "near-sharpies." I'm probably in the middle of the pack somewhere. But the guys who catch the most fish seem to have the following traits.
- they concentrate on what they're doing
- they know how to use their gear and tackle (i.e., present a needle fish differently than a mambo or a danny)
- they keep their lines in the water a high percent of the time
- they cast far (if needed) and pick their water well (tide moving across a sand bar)
- they are willing to pound the sand and move up and down the beach as needed
- they don't waste time and have an idea of what they're going to do when they hit the beach (and tackle is organized).
But most of all...they have "IT"
As a side note, I've done a lot of boat fishing with these guys, and even trolling two rods identically, the side of the boat they are standing on always seems to get the most take downs. It must be something genetic.
