Flaptail,
The fish are here. They are on the move and so am I. When I hit a slump, I think outside the box and try a new location and a new method. When I fish with confidence, I catch fish. When I "think too much" about being in a slump...nada.
But, alas, I am only human. So when the slump become "unbearable", I re-read chapter 10 "Phsychological Components" of "The Trophy Striper" by Frank Daignault. From page146....
"May: The first biggies is ganna come
June: The best month
July: Fish, big fish, are settling in
August: They get crazy and stupid when fattening up on shad
September: The mullet run in going to get'em going
October: They're comin' in from Maine where they ain't been fished
November: Everybody is tired. We got 'em all to ourselves
December: Get one now ans he'll be fat as a bastard"
Flaptail: today is June 1st!
