Guy 1 has every bit if his concetration on his eel , is moving it along in a way he can feel everything its touching or being touched by and is never missing even the slightest bit of interest by his targeted fish.
Guy 2 is is tired from working all day . he's thinking about what time he'll get home and if his boss will be on his back at work the next day and about the wife nagging about him going fishing again. Every now and then when Guy1 catches a fish , he concentrates for a few minutes and gets one too.
Guy 3 has the rod handle under his armpit and is retrieving using the hand on the arm with the rod under his armpit. He's got his other hand in his pocket playing with himself and couldn't care less about the fish , in fact he's damned put out he has to hold the stupid rod just so guys 1+2 won't know he's playing pocket pool.
But seriously , guy 1 is probably fishing at a much higher level of mental intensity.

So This is why Back Beach is always asking guys fishin around us if he can play an away game at their place........
I am always thinking about sex while fishin' and thinkin about fishin' while havin sex......Rarely focused on the right thing but it all seems to work out for me.

Bob,
If guy #1 does this consistently I'd say he'll outfish others 9 out of 10 trips. He knows what he's doing and he's not telling.

Guy #1 pees in his wetsuit.

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

Guy #3, which would be me and coincidentally, catches nothing.
However, I might have learned something in this thread about the fish attracting qualities of human urine...just not my own.
Maybe berkeley can come up with a redlite scented gulp? You'd have to wear a hazmat outfit if you used the stuff, but it would fit right over your wetsuit.

About 2 years ago I stood next to my bud surfcasting a beach with the same basic set up and same bait. I kid you not, I caught 11 stripers, he caught 1. (they weren't big). The main difference? I was getting out 20 feet further with each cast. After awhile i offered my rod. He told me to GFM. LOL.

I have come to the conclusion that it is because #1 was singing to himself

No to the fish. Don't tell me you don't sing to the fish?? No wonder you're not catching anything! That's basic!!
