Time on the Water ...and... fish when you can.
Timely reports are nice...but they do effect the number of anglers on a spot or area, and those that fish a lot in their local areas are usually tight lipped for that reason...Nowadays there seem to be a lot more anglers that chase "internet and radio fish"...
Just put in the time and learn from your friends and guides and find your own fish and techniques and you'll be much happier in the end
