Is it YOU...........or is IT the Spot?

[Adam_777]

Alot of variables need to be taken into consideration,percentages,scenarios and walk throughs for some instances.

To answer this question you would need to be a highly experienced angler.I'm not one so carry on.....

thanks gentlemen!

some very interesting responses and takes
on what IT is and the nature of our surfcraziness.

i do agree that many of the sharpies out there have become fish-like with their aquired and honed abilities; while some were just born that way ~with an innate fish sense. likewise, experience is an excellent teacher and confidence builder and has been said to play a huge factor in this thang that we do.................

it's very curious, to me, this whole luck/mojo variable and is not something that is easy to quantify, nor should it be equated, imho. i tend to favor the intangibles, since that seems to be my strong suit ~~for now!

good stuff by everyone as ALL opinions are welcomed and
thanks again, gents, for taking the time to respond

You need a few things like location, ability,time, and of course the fish must be available.

It's uncanny how you can predict when and where the fish will be within a night or two season after season. This takes alot of time on the water.

I have a spot I have caught some qualtiy fish out of over the years.Good fish in current that will test ur tackle.Over time I have it narrowed down pretty good.Time of year ,tide,even time of the night.But They don't always feed the same way.I have let the fish tell me how they want it.Each year seems to be different.I like to believe my skills has allowed me to be consitant when catching these quality fish.Now without confidence in my belief that quality fish where present.I might not have taken the time to explore other options.U put it all together an it adds up to experience/time on the water.
