I have a few things I have put together over the yrs.When the time is right.First and foremost, I am sure my gear is up to the task...I fish like a dog on point, every cast.Total concentration.This is hard to do.It'll wear most out after a few casts some slightly longer.I'm talking holding a 11' rod like u know the next hit is gonna punish you..I have landed quality fish of 35 lbs or better on the first cast.It's not luck. Another quality fish took me 7 hrs of casting to figure the timing out.Thank God I had the drive of a younger surfcaster at the time..
There's lots to be said about spending time on the water.U stumble upon things.It is how u get the confidence.If I held Ur hand an told you this is when it's gonna happen.You might last a while.But u'll tire after some time.Hey, there not always there.Thats part of the mystery..U have to build Ur own confidence.Then hopefully after a while u can build Ur own success and u can use your time more wisely..I still fish the whole tide an the turn to keep em honest.In doing that this fall run I learned a few new things.Things That put me into quality fish while most where complaining about how poor it was..Thats the great part of the sport.U never know everything but if u put the time in the fish will help ya.I happen to enjoy the sport immensely whether I catch or not.I guess I'm lucky that way.I once heard a great line from a prominent LI surfcaster.If I wanted to fish 4 hrs I would have got on a 1/2 day boat.
To sum it up fishing with confidence to me is.Having faith in my methods to the point where I'm thinkin the next cast might connect me to the fish of a lifetime.
