local knowledge is key , what works in one place does not work somewhere else , tides , bait, lures , time of the year , if there's been rain or not, day or night , time of the month , barometric pressure , water temperature, it all plays a role , those that keep a diary and fish a place often usually out fish someone that does not , there's some real keen east coast fishermen with their own channels that post their own videos from time to time , start watching some of their videos and take notes , use what they use , and in time everything will start getting easier ,
