The smaller White Terns and immature Gulls usually indicate a smaller grade of fish. In general, these larger fish tend to stay in deeper water. I have found fishing the 50 and deeper contours to be most productive. If I could heed my own advice to exhibit this trait, I would catch more big fish. Running all over the place looking for other big fish that are ready to bite is counterproductive.
Big fish are hard to find AND hard to get to bite.
Finding them is more than half the battle. Big fish got big and old because they are smart and have lived to be big through a process known as Natural Selection. It is presumptuous to believe that today, it will be easy to fool them. So, exhibit patience. Breathe deeply, grasshopper, when you can snatch the pebble from my hand, then it will be time for you to leave .
