Samsky, we have all been there when we started. You simply have to put your time in and figure what works best for you. I have been at this for over 50 years and I still get skunked. You have to do your homework and be diligent in reading and trying. If you need help I am sure there are plenty of guys on the site that are willing to show you a few things. I for one, if you want to get out onto IBSP give me a call and if I am available I would gladly show you the ropes out there.The best place to look for help as well are the local B&T's, they are a treasure chest of knowledge, especially if you frequent them and become a regular.Happy CatchingPaul
If you were getting bites and no hook up in the canal - you may have had too large of a piece of bait. For blackfish, I use green crabs cut in quarters or sixths and I take the legs off - this way the blackfish bites into your hook instead of pulling off the bait. As far as learning how to fish for strippers - I hear dollar bills work great! Now if you mean STRIPERS...clams may do the trick... and thanks for the warm welcome from everyone!NJ HERMIT!! lol
