Too bad about the jackass that could have made it productive for him and you with a little common sense. Visually speaking, from what you said, it sounds like a good school of yellows you might have had a chance at until...
Thanks for the timely report, better luck next time, and congrats on your first LJ beach launch.

Why thank you kind sir and madam. As far as luck goes, I'll need plenty of it. But just being on the water, learning to read conditions better makes me the luckiest guy in the world. The fish, when they do manage to scarf down my offerings, are just an added bonus. At this point, I don't really care about the fish (not primarily, but secondarily of course). It's about paying dues and learning how to maximize my productivity to accelerate my learning curve.

One thing I don't want is to go out when it's just stupid good out there. I won't learn a thing. I like the challenge of a tough plunker-style bite because it forces me to think outside of the box.

When I take the plunge and go with Josh, I hope it's on a day when conditions are a bit tougher. If I go out when it's easy (for him) I won't learn as much. I wanna see that guy work for a bite, which I am sure he does far more often than not after my experience on Tuesday.
