The number of nights you put in is the most important factor regardless of your skill level. If you compare fishing to baseball, the following applies:

Say a .500 hitter(fisher) puts in 10 nights and a .250 hitter(fisher) puts in 20 nights....do the math. They would be thoeretically equal in terms of "hits". A .100 hitter would need 50 nights, but would likely exceed the "better" fishermen as his skills would presumably improve with the increased participation level. Keep in mind over the short term these numbers can be misleading, but over many seasons they will prove to be quite true.

When you hear the old addage "put your time in", take homage as its the best advice you could ever receive.There's too many factors involved to pinpoint what will happen and when, thus you need plenty of failures(outs) in order to get the occasional success.

In my mind, if you can catch a good fish from shore once every three trips and thus bat .333, you're doing extraordinarily well.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
