Covering water?

For me it can change greatly from night to night. I usually plan on hitting certain spots at certain times based on the tides. Generally will give a spot an hour or so with no action before moving on but if I am getting fish or really like the way things are setting up I may just stick with on spot for all or most of night.

It also depends how much I have been out recently, if I haven't been out I'll bounce around a lot more hoping to find feeding fish. If I know a spot has been producing well I'm more likely to wait it out. Was out last night and hit 4 spots and found fish in 2. Tonight I'll spend more time working the spots that produced last night and either skip or make a quick stop at the others.

I fish more from a boat than on shore. I fish the same way doing both, there are certain locations that produce at certain tides. I usually work them at their historically best times and then move on to the next. Sometimes I get curious and fish a spot for a whole tide cycle and sometimes I get surprised. I keep a log, seems to increase the percentage for success but its never a sure thing, too many variables. One thing that makes it easy is that for the most part I like being in certain places even if I am not catching.

Results so far of Numby's poll:


Let someone else find them.....use the cell phone 1 1.92%

I sure would like to know who this one was!

My brother, Don, who is banished to the NJ beaches tells me that-- if this poll were taken down in N.J., that this telephone fishing category would probably be the front runner. Says he cannot get a bass on the beach and back in the water in the daytime before looking up and seeing a half dozen fishermen running down from the road. They all pack binoculars.

I would assume this comment was tongue in cheek.
