[quote name='eatfish' post='12561' date='Sep 3 2008, 08:23 PM']I know there is a learning curve and I'm on it, and getting better, at least now I kind of know what to look for and how to approach. I've been doing a lot of research and watching. Saw a guy on a high speed troll put a huge school of fish down, ran right through the middle of them. the birds, as a group, rose about 150' and stayed, when the fish got organized again the birds were on the move. Pretty cool to watch, learned a lot. I'm putting my time in!!!! for a while, I kept thinking that everyone could just run up a catch one, but I'm learning that not catching one is the norm. I'm not going to quit!! early I spent a lot of time trolling SQUID bars with no fish around. Now I'm trying to jig with fish around, but I think that the next time out with fish around I'll be on the troll again with SQUID bars. The last trip to the SWC was on Sun morning, my crew was ambitious, wanted to be there at 0530, we were there in the 2-4' that quickly turned to 4-6' with the occasional set of 8'rs. When my wife started chumming it was time to go!! I'll be watching the weather and will probably play hookie and get out the next chance, see ya out there[/quote]
Go EAST!! The bite has been much better on the troll out there. And DON'T follow the fleet...that should be a very very last resort. You want your own fish, they are out there just try different areas and pay attention to the tides and moon phases. Some guys keep journals to help figure things out, I am not that diligent.
