1. They make sure their tackle is in top working order at all times.
2. They concentrate their fishing in big fish areas. They are willing to fish areas where they may catch only a few fish but have an increased chance of catching a large fish. They will travel to the areas where the bigger fish are based on the migration season. It's more important to be where the fish are then to know an area inside out.
3. Learn how to fish the plugs or baits that are known to work on big fish in a given area. Eels, live or rigged, being number one. Jigs in fast water areas and swimmers and needlefish in the surf to note a few. Need to have faith in what your using to the point where your always thinking the next cast might be the one.
4. A small group of good fishermen willing to share information and work together is a great asset. This was an invaluable asset when I was a kid surf fishing the Jersey coast in the 60s. Today with the advent of the cell phone it's even better.
5. Fish every chance you get.
