Thanks Krisp, this is a very good thread. I bumped it up a notch this year with little to show for it. Much of the challenges noted above are the same for me.
I have been fishing salt and fresh since I was a little kid, very comfortable with all the basics. Became a nightime strper fisherman about 6 years ago. My Dad did very well fishing RI surf up until 1994, then moved to Florida. So he was an excellent source of info and guidance. He was the best fisherman I have ever known, multiple 30s, 40s, and 50s. All that said, I have never caught a bass larger than 26 lbs. I fish hard, 99% of the time alone and always at night. I use eels mostly then plugs, jigs and sluggos/surf hogs.
By fishing alone, I hardly learn anything new. I dont know, what I dont know. I have been exploring new areas and sometimes getting into fsih. My biggest drawback is that I only fish 1-2 nights a week. I wish I was learning more when I was out there. I am sure I am repeating my mistakes.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
