Secrets of COW BASS

[LeCounts1099]

I know of a 52 lber. that was caught on an October afternoon from the Western Long Island Sound surf by a "Googan" who was using a long- shank/ wired leadered- Bluefish hook, and ratty piece of frozen Bunker tail bait... targeting Bluefish with a "crappy" rod & reel! THAT's luck!!

Mark M. taking a 64 lber. on a plug from Montauk Light on a rough Thanksgiving eve. night 15 years ago... or Iron Mikes' 60 & 50's from the surf also on plugs-- NO way that's "luck" at all!

I'll have to agree with flap...10 min's to beach,,20 min's to early, run home and have coffee, back in 15 to catch the perfect time.......other's spend MORE than 2/3 of their waking hours casing fish...course their going to catch more and larger fish. it's no different than anyone else that spend's all their time doing one thing reguardless of their interest, their going to be good at it.

Well I wish it was me, but for the last 2 years I haven't hardly got a 20 pounder. I think I am doing everything I should, I seem to be a day, week, or hour to late/ early for everything. only time will tell
I was going over my log for the last 2 years wondering what I could change. I figured I was on the beach/ rocks for 432 nights and days.

I think a lot has to do with having an old timer showing you the ropes and sharing hot spots with you.
