Every time I think I am good something happens to tell me I am not. I try and follow patterns think like a fish. Follow movements etc. Then I have a moment where nothing happens as it should either for good or bad.

I had a learning experience this weekend as a matter of fact. I stood on top of a dune looking down at fish swirling slurping finning etc. eating ravenously. Decent sized as well. I grabbed my to headed down and proceeded to cast everything in the bag on top of splashes in between etc so on and so forth. I could not buy a bite. If I had a teaser with me or a fly rod it would have been game on I am certain. But I was completely unprepared to present a lure that could match. Never again.

I think being good above average has a lot to do with preparing yourself adequately to be able to catch. Not just knowing how to catch. But how to catch no matter what the forage base is. Wether it be chunks eels lures tin doesn't matter. If you want to b successful you have to be prepared.
