No doubt. Use the freakin eels for chrissakes, its like a free pass at times. Some of the other things mentioned earlier have held up too, and always will.My ten largest fish this year have come from two spots. My five largest have all come from the same spot, roughly on the same part of the tide, all on eels, but in four different months(may-aug). I was discussing this with someone yesterday and we agreed that you need to stick with one or two spots that will produce large, take the occasional skunking like a man, and you will get your rewards. If you feel like you need to catch fish every time you fish to maintain your manhood

, then targeting the biggest fish(from shore) is probably not for you if you can't handle the failures associated with it. At times, I'm a tremendous slouch in terms of catching fish, but it usually pays off at the end of the season. Still working on my "Krispy" quota though.
