Living ten minutes from the beaches on the outer cape helps and being able to forgo the needs of the wife and kids and fish six out of seven nights helps a great deal. Once you get the read on the fish you can stay on them for however short or long a period the bass decide to grace the beach. These days out on the outer cape those days are few and far between. Being able to be Johnny-on-the-spot, besides being a halfway knowledgable striper fisherman puts it all together. Plus a little local hero worship gets you a call when others don't. Some big fish were caught that's for sure, but really there were not that many. If guys who caught the biggest were asked to compare fishing for large now to the late 70's, early 80's I am sure they would tell you it sucks now as to compared to then. Gotta be there when the fish are there, plain and simple.

Consistant producers,imho, do it by paying their dues in time on the water and years of experience.New comers do it more with luck.

And I thought the reason I was catching bigger fish each year is cause the fish in Maine were getting bigger.

Luck can put a good fish on the beach. Like the guys who, once a season on LI, take the family to the beach, toss out a chunk of frozen bunker and manage to put a 50+ on the sand.
Luck doesn't enter the equation for the guys who put both numbers and size in their logs every season  |

I know of a 52 lber. that was caught on an October afternoon from the Western Long Island Sound surf by a "Googan" who was using a long- shank/ wired leadered- Bluefish hook, and ratty piece of frozen Bunker tail bait... targeting Bluefish with a "crappy" rod & reel! THAT's luck!! 
Mark M. taking a 64 lber. on a plug from Montauk Light on a rough Thanksgiving eve. night 15 years ago... or Iron Mikes' 60 & 50's from the surf also on plugs-- NO way that's "luck" at all!  |

You nailed it Mike. More than anything, I believe it's knowing your spots and when to fish em. |
