I have a spot I have caught some qualtiy fish out of over the years.Good fish in current that will test ur tackle.Over time I have it narrowed down pretty good.Time of year ,tide,even time of the night.But They don't always feed the same way.I have let the fish tell me how they want it.Each year seems to be different.I like to believe my skills has allowed me to be consitant when catching these quality fish.Now without confidence in my belief that quality fish where present.I might not have taken the time to explore other options.U put it all together an it adds up to experience/time on the water.

Sometimes it’s the spot – more often it’s the fisherman. I’ve witnessed too many instances when a very well known spot has a half dozen casters but only one or two guys take the majority of bass. Even during blitz fishing there may be someone who’ll out-fish others 5-1. You can have the best spot with bass present but a caster still has to determine the correct PRESENTATION for shot at those bass. There is a very select group of casters I’ve met over the years that I consider “vacuum cleaners”. If I see these guys come off or leave a spot or location I may head somewhere else because I know they probably stuck any bass in the area that is on the feed. Others I can look at and just tell they didn’t fish the location correctly, then get on their still warm perch and do a job. Well known spots are well known for a reason – they produce. But well known spots also get pounded by lots of casters who can quickly wipe the area clean. Some of these spots will have different casters plying it for a whole tide. Smart casters will then fish areas off the beaten track. As has been said there are many variables that affect what we do. But it’s how we do things that will determine our success.

Yes... but how do you know they're not there? That's what makes surfcasting special!
