[QUOTE=#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&]Only problem is when you swim out to those rocks "neck deep" you have left all the good fish behind you
I disagree 100%. I cast before I swim out to spots and get the skunk. I get out farther and more often than not the fish are there. They like the cover of depth in addition the structure I'm fishing. I did not realize how much i was missing out!
This spring 2 partners that I fish with had 30#+ fish 7 nights in a row, from the mainland. They each ended up with a 40# fish from that week. I was there and struggled and got outfished 10 to 1 or worse. I changed my setup (rod and reel), to acheive distance and from that point on caught my fair share of 30s and a 40 to top things off this spring. All fish were WAY out there. In this situation distance was very important. You cant get stuck in the same habit... things change
