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!  |

I'll have to agree with flap...10 min's to beach,,20 min's to early, run home and have coffee, back in 15 to catch the perfect time.......other's spend MORE than 2/3 of their waking hours casing fish...course their going to catch more and larger fish. it's no different than anyone else that spend's all their time doing one thing reguardless of their interest, their going to be good at it.

Well I wish it was me, but for the last 2 years I haven't hardly got a 20 pounder. I think I am doing everything I should, I seem to be a day, week, or hour to late/ early for everything. only time will tell
I was going over my log for the last 2 years wondering what I could change. I figured I was on the beach/ rocks for 432 nights and days.
I think a lot has to do with having an old timer showing you the ropes and sharing hot spots with you.

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