This from a previously addressed area that fish are there for the taking. Has the "burned" finatics gotten to others to make up stories to just get the seldom ones to take stake where it's not productive? I joined for help. Guess I had the wrong idea.

fish have fins....don't chase old reports.....it takes lots of time and effort to make a spot work...sometimes seasons....many a good folk on here, but I doubt someone is gonna put you on fish right off the bat.... |

I've never done well over the years chasing reports. Do like Slingah says. You have to go on your instincts, learn all the intricasies of an area, and know how to work it. I have several consistant spots (I'm quite certain one is right near you Slingah) and even after years of fishing these spots, things change from season to season. Sometimes you have to relearn a spot every year.
Just study an area and keep at it. You'll find what works. What, when, where, how. Keep working it.

I once told someone where 20 & 30 pound fish were the night before - the guy went - got skunked, and called me a liar.
As someone who has frequently showed up a day late, that happens.
Sounds like you were at a inlet, not many better places to be this time of year than a dropping inlet... Keep at it - if it was easy it would not be so worth it |

John, one of your old favorite spots has given up some decent fish recently on like you said, a dropping tide.  |
