I meet a guy at work about 15 years ago. We became good friends and started fishing together. At that time I was catching fish, but nothing like what this guy would catch. He began teaching me his spots. One spot off Falmouth is so particular that you have to approach the spot perfectly. Your line needs to be down ~45 feet. He had it worked out that you need 100 yds steel line with a 10 foot 80lb mono leader. The detail was incredible. It took him years to perfect this, but that spot with that technique works every year. The bottom line is that some guys put in a lot of time perfecting technique and spots to fish.

That's what pisses me off about On the Water. They give away spots that have been favorites to a handful of folks for years. It's unfortunate that sometimes the only way you ever get to really catch fish is to meet the right person.
