Just put your time in, try different spots, times, plugs and for God sake, have fun!!!

Oh good, it isn't just me! I started about the same eon. Part of the ritual was getting bait. Digging worms or clams and raking sandeels. That's a small victory right there. Seen the price of worms lately? Learn some decent knots and practice them, if fishing's slow practice your cast. If you're just starting plugging try different techniques. It's all part of the whole. It's like Little League Baseball. You don't yet know what you don't know. Practice ,practice everything. You'll get good. Oh yeah, listen to Bassmaster and try to read between the lines. He gives up more that he knows, maybe, I think.
