The few things I have learned from reading and watching "sharpies" is to slow the presentation down!!! If you think you are going slow enough you are going to fast (with certain lures).
Bigger isnt necessary always better sometimes when the fish have lock jaw shrink the size of the lures or bait and it usually unlocks the jaws.
reading the water...if you understand where the fish would be (I am still trying to master this one) you have abetter chance of catching more fish. Also understand what areas the fish like to be in....will there be a fish in this type of water and why will they be here.
Dont overlook the importance of wind.
Concentrate on what you are doing...when I go with my buddies to fish, who dont get out very often, we yak to much catching up on things and dont catch as much if we shut up and concentrate on fishing.
Pay attention to what you are doing when you are catching fish as it could be the one thing that gets the fish to bite.
Go on more scouting trips during the day with the kids (if any), this way you will spend time with them and scout sweet areas to fish....and you may just teach the kids how to read the water as well.
Get out as often as you can.
Now if I can put all of thes together I would be able to catch more fish.
The folks I work with just dont understand why I fish...they think you just drop a line in the water and bust open a few beers. Fishing is like baseball...baseball looks like a simple game but when you understand the strategy needed it is a very complex.
