Re: Blackfish.. bad luck or bad numbers?
As I follow up to my original post. Private and open boat fishing is totally different animal than party boat fishing as I would not be able to put the consistent #'s I posted if all those trips were on a crowded boat. You do get those days if your put your time in that you dream about put they are farther and few between then when fishing on a six pack. The best time to go fishing is any date you can get out. You can try to cherry pick your days especially when driving long distance but you never know. When I travel more than 3 hours to fish I try to do back to back trips to stack the deck in my favor in putting a good catch together. What is considered a good catch really depends on who you talk to. People use the phrases all the time that I limited out. Just catching keepers does not make it a good day as you have to take the whole experience into consideration on a day on the water. You can have a 6 keeper day and limit out and many would consider that a slow day if putting in a full day of fishing others may think it was a banner or EPIC fishing. It is a matter of perspective
Some of the best blackfisherman that are out there you will never hear a peep out of them. They keep to themselves and rarely will share any knowledge or information with anybody. If you ask them how they did the standard answer seems to be we did OK no details whatsoever.
I have paid my dues and do not mind paying it forward to someone who is passionate about fishing and just wants to get better at it. If I can help in reducing the learning curve then why not help a fellow brother out.
If you are limited on funds and want to get out for a day I will Treat you to a day of fishing. No guarantee that we will have a banner day but I am almost positive that you will go home with some fish in the cooler. Send me a pm and we can see if we can work something out. I am sure we can learn a thing or two from each other that will make us better fisherman
