so are you saying I don't know anything or I'm not a rookie?lol

Tough as fishing seems to be I don't think anyone knows much anymore lol

Guys are catching them many different ways...weighted freelines with bluebakcs, u-rigs on points and humps(classic but true), downlined trout, and I even have a good family friend catching them in the teens with plugs at night from the shore!

Good to hear ! I've talked with one guide inparticular that usually catches alot of fish and says he's still struggling .

yea, its still not easy out there. Any stripes you get, you will have to "work" for.
