1. You are never as good as you think
2. Fish are often where they weren't
3. You don't always need bait
4. Keep your priorities straight
5. Tie good knots
6. Sharpen your hooks
7. Test your drag
8. Step slowly
9. Fish when you can
10. Make friends

The rest will take care of itself. Amen.

shut up and fish and pay attention to details

Actually I'd say

1. Fish Live Bait When Available
2. Concentrate on a small area(s) and learn it(them) cold
3. Don't Chase Reports
4. STFU: Learn to be satisfied with personal satisfaction
5. Ignore the small fish that are readily available
6. Stay the course
7. Stay Confident (VERY IMPORTANT)
8. Throw your cell phone away
9. Bring a camera and a scale
10.Never Lie (A wiseman named Mike Veracka once said a fisherman only has his integrity, once you lose that, you're always a liar)

Hi Mike
He also coined the phrase "Horse C*ck Pikie" as far as I know but he did say that.

1. Fish at night
2. Fish the bottom
3. Fish eels
4. Fish big fish spots
5. Fish big fish gear
6. Fish the rule, not the exception
7. Keep your mouth shut
8. Structure; current
9. Listen, learn, adapt
10. Time in the surf

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus
