Fixed it for ya, Monty....

I was telling ya the other day, I try to make it a rule that in NJ I go out when wave height is between 2-4.
Folks who fish in other states, and Montauk, may have different answers as well.
Duration for me, is best at 6-12 secs, anything less also seems to affect my results negatively.

According to my logs that's been the most productive time for me at night. Those seem to be conditions when I can most effectively present to the fish using artificials, with a chance at getting their attention. And not put myself in danger at the same time.

Others may feel differently.
I think it also depends on whether you're fishing bait or artificials.

Good thread.
