I usually Hide from these posts, cuz they make it look all Me Me .Me...
Now Im going to tell You something, I fished My whole life.
cod flounder mostly in single years and then on to more cod and Bass/Blues.
some are born into it. and at some point in time all the time put in will click and then You will boost from there.
I spent a long time fishing the islands as welll as the sands and the canal.
to Me respect is not Jumping on the other Guy when He or she is into fish.
reading maps taking winter road trips and trying new spots when You know damn well that a place You fish is holding.
understanding the Moon and the rise and set of the moon along with the son. as well as when the moon is close or far.
all this stuff takes time and it aint nothing You are going to learn over night.
knowing when to be where and what to throw.
and when the Bass change up, well being able to tell when they do...
I live on the Cape and some nights I will run 70 miles easy and Be into fish all night long. or atleast I will find them.
learning the art of live lining, NOT GUT HOOKING WITH 94150s
eeling is an art and I fair very well at that, Made the doe.
Plugging is another art that will take years to learn.
Being quiet when a beach is hot so it doesnt get worked to death.
and respecting distance on the surf 25 feet next to Me is to close if I dont know You.
respecting others turf.
learning how to hit and run on the sands to keep the numbers going. and for a few older Buds, We still talk the code another art.
keeping Your ears open and becomoing a detective. bait shop is tabboo.
I earned My respect here and know the "crews" in certain areas.
being respectfull and maybe helping a few Guys on the suds to hook up, who sit in the lime light in betwean tides.
keeping an open mind and always on the Hunt for new info.
it took Me a very long time to become consistant through the whole year and when others see that then the respect is there.
Being quiet about the catch is another and sharing Your info in Your circle is always a good thing. if the trust is there.
there will always Be a few that are a cut above the rest. and I strive to be the best that i can.
The eldridge should Be Your Bible and You should have may and june tides and Moon info in Your head and plan of attack.
this Year is going to be a very good Year.....
My 2 Bits
