IF you could pass on 1 fishing lesson ~
What would it be?
For me it was something that i really came to the realization of over the past 2 weeks being on vacation.
No matter what type of water you fish or species you target you can always bridge the gap between water types ( sweet -salty , River - Ditch) and species, they behave and hunt the same. So use some simular techniques you do in other situations and it will help produce more fish, especially reading the water.

That fishing most of the time is not about the catch... but the mental and physical pursuit.

keep a detailed log of your fishing exploits: What worked, what didnt work, wind, moon, tide, season, water quality, how long you stayed, what other people were doing/using and where... the more information the better. Its kinda fun looking back and remembering a really good day, who you were with and what happened; You'll be suprised how much you forget just off the top of your head. Me especially  |
something clever and related to fishing

I'm tryingto pass on to my kids the joy, mystery and respect that comes from fishing. To always treat the animal with respect, even those "trash fish and bait stealers". It's their ocean, we're just visiting, they're doing what they were meant to do.

When fishing wooden plugs (or any kind of artificial) vary your retrieve speed and find how the fish like it!! I see too many people who think "FAST".........is the ONLY way!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Lotta good responses.
Mine would be that I am an idiot and not a good fisherman and probably never will be. The best lesson I learned was to get over myself, accept that I will never be "great" and just enjoy what little time I have to fish, whenever I can.
I think the true "greats" have it in them to begin with and hone their skills through practice. If you have ever watched and observed people when they fish than you know what I mean.

Catching fish is a bonus, enjoy the chase in it's entirety. Watch the sun/moon rise/set. Listen to the surroundings, enjoy the act as a whole. Appreciate it . And swear alot because it helps.

The one lesson I try to impress on my nephews is to pay attention to the details. Re-tie knots, sharpen hooks, plan where you are goin to land a fish before your first cast. Check you leader and line often. All the simple stuff and the main reasons guys loose trophy fish. "The little things"

Trust your gut. If something inside of you tells you to try something or someplace do it. It's put 3 of the big fish on my walls by doing so.

That it's not about the fish.
