Old truths are not always true:
"Fishing sucks during a full moon" Surf fishing during a full bright moon can be great. Just need to adjust by fishing areas that are a little deeper and more current. Helps if the surf is up some. If there is food in the area a bright moon will not keep the fish away. The new moon might be the most productive time but don't miss out on the other times if you have the time to go.
"Other then the fall day time fishing sucks" Surf fishing on bright sunny days can produce nice fish at times other then the fall. Chunking in rocky areas with no people or boat traffic can be productive when the fish are moving North or have settled in for the summer in the Northern areas.
"Chunking is for newbees and old people, doesn't take any skill" Chunking can be extremely productive on big fish if you know what your doing. Walk the outer beaches on the cape at night and you will meet people who really know what chunking is all about.
"You got to hold the rod, miss to many fish with sandspikes and deep hook to many" If you know how to tie a hi/lo rig correctly you will not deep hook fish. While you may miss a few more fish using a sandspike they will mainly be the smaller fish and having two rods will make up for this.
One new one: "Sluggos are as good as real eels" Sluggos are good but as tony the tiger would say "eels are great"
