while the above is TRUE, to an extent,,,,,,,,,,,,,
there are conditions and structure that repeat AND
deliver from OBX to OOB. especially so along the NE portion
of The Striper Coast. learn what, where, and when produces
BITES and you will find consistent success.
what BigFish said works as well; i would only add that when you are hitting an area,
try casting your offering in a fan pattern. first at 12 o'clock, then 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11,,,,,,,,,,,,,
all the way to 3:30 ~~or vice versa. REPEAT. THEN, move outside of the casting area you just covered either
with the current or towards the structure, your choice, and look for the white carpet,,,,,,,,,and you'll find the feesh.
i would also suggest a basslawg to aid you in the recording
of these patterns of conditions and BITES. Crazy Al swears by them, and i know that there are other sharpies
that do it strictly from memory; however i'm part of the OvertheHill Club, so for me lawgs are the way to go.
dark nights, new moons, 17"-20" snakes, learning yer spots, and keep wetting lines
will get her done, mi amigo. this time of year,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sleep is waaaaay overrated
