If you're starting with a shallow pattern, it would be better to fish ten or fifteen bays and coves fast, rather than fishing only two or three thoroughly. If you're starting on a deep pattern, briefly fish as many points, humps and ridges you can in a single day. It's important not to get discouraged when the fish don't seem to be biting. The fact that there are days, certain times of the day, when gamefish bite better than others is true anywhere you fish, even on the world's best waters. Don't give up, good fishing may be just around the corner.
Nature has a lot to do with fishing success.
A bright day with a flat, calm surface may not be the best for fishing, but fish the same location when an approaching storm system brings dark, threatening skies, and you might experience the best fishing of your life. Wind and waves are also factors that can produce a great bite. Timing your fishing to be at the best spots at the best times is one of the secrets to catching fish consistently. There' s little luck in fishing. Success comes from hard work and a desire to succeed.
