If we're referring to Advantages as conditions or factors that enhance my ability to achieve success, which in my case means staying safe, having fun and catching a few big brown bass while doing it, then this is what I've got.
Desire, commitment & determination.
Experience has shown me that it takes what it takes.
The only question is am I willing to do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.
That can and does come in many different forms.
It's always a test/battle of wills between me, the elements, father time & the bass themselves.
Over the years we take turns winning & losing.
If disadvantages in fishing refers to the unfavorable conditions or obstacles that reduce the chances of my success, deals that impose challenges and require extra effort to overcome.
Or might be complete out of my control.
There's plenty of those.
Don't feel the need to make a 'list'.
Instead I just say IME, Life is the Ultimate challenge.
Whether I'm fishing or not.
When such a small percentage of my time is spent 'actually fishing',
seems not doing whatever I can to prepare & to set myself up for success before I get on the water, would be a distinct disadvantage for me and a big advantage for the bass.
Stay Safe.
