I think there are alot more 30 lbers around right now.5-6 yrs ago I don't think there where as many.A good season would be 1 or 2 -30's.Still today I would consider 5 or more 30's as a very good surf yr.There are guys who do that easily.Why they are on the pulse of things.They live near big fish productive waters an fish proven techniques.I live in NJ my windows for a good fish are small with the spring run being the best.Fall is much harder to score a big bass.If I lived further north an could fish all summer in a t shirt an thro eels into 25 ft water from the surf.Thats what I would be doin.No question.I would expect 10-30's from that.
Time on the water is the Key.U don't have to be a 30 yr pro.
put in a good few yrs harcore keep a log pay attention to whats going on it's common sense.Really.I tell ya what the learning curve is alot sharper now.I wish the internet was around when I started.

Krispy...do you fall into the 95%? Or the 5% of those who know what they are doing? What are your average over 30 pound catches per season? Just a curious question....maybe I missed that part somewhere. I for one seem to get close but never over that threshold.....but as I have said I am happy to just catch though bigger fish are always on the mind.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

#1 reason is time on the water. more time gives you a greater chance to catch. #2 location, location, location. Some produce lots of small fish others produce cows consistently in comparison to others. The best spots are the ones kept closest to the vest. #3 Live bait It will always outproduce artificials. Dont care who says differently. #4 The night is where it is at. A LOT of people dont like to be out at night or are not willing to be hurting the next day. #5 having CONFIDENCE in your abilities. Success breeds SUCCESS!!

Boat fishing is a totally different animal than shore.Spot,tides and technique are paramount to success when boat fishing.All of my boat fishing is done in the daytime and the captain knows how and where to fish.We catch many cows in the middle of the day.

I bet i know what it is.

Doesn't matter u don't need no tricks.Ur problem is time.A few nights a week from 8-11 is kinda like fishing tourtue to me.Some nights I'm just warming up at 11.
I know havin a little one is cooll an u wouldn't give it up for anything.But just imagine u where the NIB.
Or better yet before u know it the little man will be right by ur side.
probably outfishin ya also.Then maybe momma will let ya's stay out late.Heck she'll probably encourage it.

I have to say that having someone teach you what to do and, tides, wind, and different spots and how to fish them shortens your learning curve, when you start on your own and have to lear everything from scratch it takes years longer and although a big fish will come just by chance it will happen. fish the same five spots keep a log and keep track of everything.
