It's a combination of many things. It's a combination of finding a fishing buddy, reading books & the net, maybe taking out a professional instructional shore guide, and time spent on the water. There are also so many types of fishing and everyone is a little different...

People here really hold info tight to their chest and for the most part I can understand that and will respect their decision. Especially when they are making their living by beating someone else to the fish.

It's come up on other threads - it's a balance. But the most closely held information is precise spots, not so much technique. What are you looking for on technique? As far as people taking pictures of how they chunk a mac and rig it, I don't think I've seen that. Ever. Done it a thousand times but never photo'd it. The people that tend to detail photo info like rigging usually do it for presentations - something to look into in a club or at seminars in the winter time...

I would like to expand my repertoir to lures as well as bait so that I have more chance to fish when my commute from hell brings me ever so slowly across the merimack, shawsheen, ipswich, mystic, charles, neponsit, fore, back, or north rivers.

I have the commute from hell now - I got laid off and have no commute - which is hell. But I did do the 65 mile Warwick to Boston but I think NH to Marshfieled would be AWFUL.... (tip - move to South Shore, save commute and have longer fishing season

) ... As for expanding your arsenal - yes, adding new tools helps tremendously... You should look at Bill -n- Jul's for a shore guide. They do excellent work for the kind of instructiuonal - How-To - on lure fishing and what to look for. You can't go wrong....
