Cows: redux

[BigFish]

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.

goosefish taught me the coolest trick a few years ago and i have been good for about 2 fish over 30 lbs a season.. many many many fish in the mid to high 20's but not lots of 30's... will i share that trick??

no way

#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.

NIB; that is a scary, scary thought... Brokeback NJ anyone...???

Some people have 'it' some don't

My father and I go bassin, the scales might tip towards me a bit just based on number of trips/year right now... but we go blackfishing and I usually get smoked like I'm tunafishin in a trout stream...
