How do I suck less?

I’m getting ready to slash your learning curve. Are you ready?

hire a guide, take him in your boat. ask him to teach you how to fish your area.

What a vast amount of info on this thread i feel like i have learned a lot. I’m not a new fisherman to saltwater but i live in the upstate and only get down to the coast once a year for a week and it is hard to get the time on the water that you need to really understand how things work but i just wanted to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge i truly appreciate it!
