Fishin' Pilot

I'm in the middle of reading KVD's book right now, and throughout the whole thing he says to not fall into the trap of taking too much stock in the tribal knowledge (for lack of a better term). He says that although some conditions can influence the fish, they can still be caught, and it deals more with angler attitude/mind set vs the conditions. He mentioned that as a pro angler, their schedule is set, and they can't choose what the weather will be when they have to fish, yet they still go out and find 'em. If anyone knows, he would.

Congrats on the boat! Don't worry, after a few times you'l have it down and it'll be no worries.

Go check out the forums at TinBoats.net. There are tons of conversions listed, and there is a wealth of info over there for a project like this.

Good evening! Just introducing myself to all here at Bass Resource. I've lurked for some time and look forward to adding what I can to the conversations, as well as continuing to learn from everyone else. I've been fishing ever since I can remember, and still can't get enough. Any time on the water, catching fish or not, is always a good time in my book. I live in the Lehigh Valley area of PA, and fish many of the lakes and rivers around here. I'm looking to fish new waters, and am also looking to possibly join a local bass club as I'd like to get in to tournament fishing at some point. I'm a pilot by trade, and have flown both airliners and corporate aircraft as well as being an instructor. I've got a Lowe Stinger 160 as well as a small aluminum v-hull. Thanks!
