No one is born a great angler, but become so through practice, patience and perseverence. Remember that you are only as good or as bad as YOU think you are!

You may be right to some extent but I still think that some people just have "it" or they dont, no matter how hard they pratice (the latter would be myself )

Out of all the people I have observed fishing in my life there are 2 that I can say I have seen this certain grace with a fishing rod and lure that I just cannot describe but it is a beautiful thing to have been able to watch them in their element, their "being" if you will.

Keep fishing, after that pod of bluefish have moved on.

When you're in the presence of wise men (whether it is on the water, at the bait shop, or at a cook out), close your mouth, listen and/or watch. Ever since I was a kid, I've learned more by watching sharpies on the water and noticing very subtle details, and they have made a world of difference. I have no idea who most of them were. What I did know is they were out fishing me and I wanted to know why.
