Where I fish changes each night based upon where the tide is gonna be right for which spot (incomin; out goin) and most importantly, which spot will be fishable with eels that nights particular WIND. The distant 3rd is the moon. If it is bright, I fish my 3 deeeeep water spots. darka and I fish shallow areas. The canal is another story. As Back Beach has taught me the ways of the Eldridge Tide Book, As It is all about how strong \big the tides are. The bigger the faster the current, the better the eelin.
All this and still I figure each night where I am goin, show up, conditions are PERFECT (by fisherman standards) and the fish ain't there...........Lady Luck is the most important factor........
