where has ALOT to do with it, but its up to the fisherman to decide where to go on a particular tide and set of conditions. so to me its the angler, but more in terms of deciding/learning when and where to go. how is important too, and the angler has to learn how and what to use after deciding where. but if you decide to go to the wrong place in the wrong conditions, you can probably throw whatever you want out there and present it in the best possible way, and still end up skunked.
yes people get lucky (if you stand in one spot long enough, you'll eventually catch something good there), but the guys who do it consistantly, year after year, do it because they are able to decide the where part as conditions change. That's what we should all be striving for and what I hope to be able to do someday.
