i have learned the way hard since i was old enough to go on a dark jetty at night. i learned not to do a off the beach cast with rocks all around me(you know the rest), not to hook fish where you have no place to land it,not to shine your light into the surf when fish are breaking right at your feet,not to say "fish on" when you are hammering bass unless you want 100 other fisherman cuttleing up with you for the night( unless there hot girls
),to never leave home with out a change of clothes and a jug of water under the seat,to never leave home with out the fly rod,to always have a back up plan in case you spot is not in "Character", to wear a plug bag on your surf belt and not slung over your sholder. i fish with wood,plastic and soft plastic. i use glass and graphite rods,i use spinning and conventional set ups,i use mono and braid.
i am a independent thinker and dont rely on fishing reports from online
