I am wondering why I catch alot of fish...

I read posts on the Internet about other yakers fishing in the same spots as I do. I wonder why I catch and they don't. Maybe it's because I am familiar with the area. I think there are other factors. You need to understand the tide and where fish are going to be. Besides that, you need to understand currents for trolling and structure. There are other things you need to know too. I'll post a follow-up discussion on those points...

GPS are so important...

I was out and the fog rolled in very fast. I could hardly see 20 feet. I was out about 1/2 mile fishing in 100 feet of water. It started to get very choppy and windy. I knew I needed to get to shore fast. Being in CT, I know going north will always get me to land. But, a t-storm was coming. I used my handheld garmin and got to shore fast. If I was using a compass, it would have taken a long time. I did have my doubts that the GPS was taking me the wrong way. But. it didn't...
