Let me play devil's advocate....
I have never ever met a fisherman like my father. He was an ex-marine and in fantastic physical condition. He walked miles and miles to fish spots. He caught more bass that anytone i've met. He has 4 50+ fish, all from the surf. He fished 6 days a week. 2 days before work in Stratford Ct. 4 days in So. County Rhode Island, May thru December for years and years. He read every book, owned every lure, researched every spot. He always fished alone, sometimes with me. ALways at night. He retired to Florida in 1994.
I returned to the east coast in 2000 and begain fishing his old haunts. I knew of a spot I wanted to try so I asked my Dad for some advice. He said he tried everything for 10 years to get to this spot but never found a way to get access.
I did a search on the web, stumbled on a few sights. Came to this site and found out how to access the spot, in less than 5 minutes. I also had people give me advice on how to fish the spot. All becasue I asked the question. Without the sharing of knowledge, I would never have found this spot, I caught a lot of fish there this year. Homework and hardwork is not always the answer.
I'm not really sure what my point is
