Which is harder??
1. Hunting for fish....Hunting for them like a hunter in the woods hunting for a trophy buck.....
Taking note of what they're feeding on at that moment........
Trying to match the hatch with presentation.....
Looking for that trophy fish that is out there....swimming and feeding....
Trying to figure a pattern...if there is any......
2. OR..... just walking the beaches Spring...and late Fall...
Looking for others who are catching...
looking for blitzing fish......and fishing based on that.....
Which seems harder?
It impresses the hell out of me that Shark would remember these little things.......or possibly an off-hand conversation we may have had years ago where I mentioned it.....
When you hear, throughout the season...someone he had double digits of fish into the teen sizes...or managed a good number or weakfish...when not many others can seem to find them.......
that's why....folks......
They look for the little things.........and when they find enough similarities....use it to figure a pattern....exploit that pattern..and fish it for all it's worth......until it slows down......
That's old-school....... folks...and something that very few are willing to do any more......
