YUP!! what DZ says, with one proviso~~~

at a couple of "first cast" udl's i START with the snakes.
LOVE the preferrred lie technique and dominant COW maxim.

i also will stay longer than 10-15 mins a spot and adhere
to the Striper Coast Highway thoery as an extension of the
Honey Hole Rule. at my biggest producers, i have numbered
positions based on tide stage, moon phase, and size of surf;
which only means that for some places i will stay longer to work the
entire SPOT and optimal TIDE times, based on my active read and my lawgs' history.

then there is my General Rules of Thumb:

Schoolies on top, let the offering drop.
Twenties down low, i've got to go.
Schoolies on eeeels, are YOU for real?
Eeeeels and BIG takes, it's time to rake!!

THANKS again DZ for your wit and WISDOM!!

Generally, I hit a spot and stay . My spot selection is not random, but specific and chosen for a reason. That reason being that it has been repeatedly productive under a certain set of conditions.
Sometimes the plan doesn't work, sometimes. After and hour I'll move on.
If I'm chunking , which I'm new to, I like to throw it and just sit back....let the fish find me.
