Justin Thibault Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 in my opinion the best part of fishing is getting out and away from everyday life and the city. im happy to catch anything for my first fish to wipe the skunk off then after that all i want is one good bass. but fish are just the icing on the cake for me. just being out is good enough! im from SE MASS. and this season seems to be terrible for top waters. fishing has definitely changed over the past few years. 1 Quote
BrownBear Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 When I have a bad day, I think back to a old motto: "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work." When we go out to fish, we have to ask ourselfs why? Why am I up at 4 or 5 am when I could be sleeping? Because we love what we do! It's a passion that we all have come to endure. If you don't ever have a low, you will never have a high. Yes everyone has bad days, but boy... when that big one strikes... it was worth it! Remember what you are fishing for! Take care. 1 Quote

Justin Mott Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I'm with you on grabbing the worm and keep plugging that bank. I don't throw worms very often but the idea of leaning on your strengths suits my style well. We all are going to see those tough days where the bass aren't interested in us. When they happens, I tie on the baits that I want to throw. I forget the 100 different ideas that might work and throw what I know works for me. I'm not knocking everyone's ideas earlier. Those techniques I'm sure works wonders for them. But its hard to have a ton of confidence in other peoples techniques without seeing them work. No those truly tough days, we have do dig our heels in and keep pounding away like we have no sense in our head. And odds are, the most persistent angler will eventually catch them. The sad part is that is takes working your butt off and being mentally tough. Justin Mott 1 Quote
