Thumbs up get some binoculars

welcome iwannakeeper...you've just graduated from the lurkers.
One of my best tools is simply a pair of binoculars and i watch for circling and diving terns indicating actively feeding fish just below sending bits and pieces to the surface that they quickly take advantage of. Perhaps you've only fished daylight hours til now but there is something mysterious about casting into the total darkness and fighting a fish at night not being able to see. You might want to try changing tactics from chunking to plugging and back again until you find that winning combination. There's a reason why some of the members get addicted to plug making and have 25 - 100 plugs to choose from. Soft plastics are for weedy conditions and chunkin's great when they're only feeding off the bottom. Keep going and never give up experimenting!!!
