In almost 40 yrs of bass fishing I've been lucky to fish with 3 guys who were great fishing partners. They were all older than me. 2 are gone now,the other took a new job and moved away years ago. Two of them were tournament fisherman, the other was a skilled bass fisherman. I learned a huge amount from.all 3 of them. Having said that, I've also fished with several guys who, never brought correct tackle, couldn't tie a good knot, used dull rusty hooks, and old half rotted line, or constantly wanted to borrow something, and complained all the time. It used to bother me watching someone tie on a dull, rusted hook, or fishing with old dried out mono. Now, I don't fish with guys like this anymore. My main fishing partner is my grandson, and he's become a good fisherman over a few years time. He rarely has any problems while we fish together. Having a good fishing partner can make for a good day. You can work together, trying different baits, areas etc and get a pattern going. I like to see anyone catch fish, but, I want them to at least try to be ready, with tackle and other items. If not I would rather fish alone. Do you have a good partner?
