Without a doubt..... putting your bait in the right spot.......... providing the weather and sea are right as well.

Bait and correct conditions for the mark you want to fish

I agree with all of the views presented. My own feelings are that you need to have a reaonable idea of where fish will be, given the prevailing sea conditions. This comes after years of experience . The next very important issue is the quality of bait and it\'s presentaion.
Rods and reels are less important but there is nothing wrong in having the best or latest tackle to hit the market.
When we were younger, Chris Stringer and myself used to fish with 14 ft Bamboo canes bought from Irvins on the fish quay. We caught just as many fish with what would be considered to be crude tackle nowdays!
