Super User Ratherbfishing Posted July 29, 2015 Super User Posted July 29, 2015 A general malaise toward fishing and life in general. Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 29, 2015 Super User Posted July 29, 2015 This year! Not going enough! I went yesterday for the first time in a month I do take my grandson 3-4 days a week but I sit back & watch him from an elevated point. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted July 29, 2015 Global Moderator Posted July 29, 2015 Not getting the "kicker fish" in tournaments. The, literally, 20 or so money finishes that I have the last 2-3 years, that were not wins, have come down to one cull. Totally agree!! I respectfully change my answer! Mike Quote

AdamsEye Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Besides not getting enough fishing time, and having a Monetary limit, well... If I had more money and time I would have the ability to find more problems lol! Quote
NathanW Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Preparation!! Something that I used to do but don't anymore. I used to check and trend the weather, study map, check all my line for nicks, organize tackle, plan how I am going to fish certain areas, rig up not for how I wanted to fish but for how weather trends, water trends, and forecasts say I should be fishing. Its probably a factor of having young children at home combined with relying way to heavily on my on the water abilities. Quote
zachb34 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Consistency I get on some great streaks where I have them figured out exactly. At some times I can't figure them out for the life of me, while I see others are still catching and even doing really well. I never have an in between period it's always great or bad fishing. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted July 29, 2015 Super User Posted July 29, 2015 My problem is that there are techniques I still haven't tried and classic lures I still haven't caught a fish on. Take a frog, for example, even though I've been throwing one since April. But the nice thing is, I have a solution: get right back out there and try it! 1 Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted July 29, 2015 Super User Posted July 29, 2015 Going deep on a hot day. I can do it no problem when it's nice out but once it gets really hot my patience wears thin much faster. Quote
Nice_Bass Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I don't live on the water with my boat on a lift and going to work/not enough 10k acre or bigger lakes around that would require a short drive. Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Fishing big lakes with a small 10 ft bass raider and a 55 lb thrust trolling motor... Makes it a bit tough to fish bigger lakes like Champlain. Wind and waves an be pretty harsh at times. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted July 29, 2015 Super User Posted July 29, 2015 Pitching and flipping. I usually cast first, and then realize that it would have been better to pitch or flip the bait into the spot. Quote
lo n slo Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 My big fishing problem is usually being too stubborn. I try to make them bite my way sometimes, even when I know better. Preach on brother! Quote
BaitMonkey1984 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Can't pick one. It would be a tie for fishing deep or fishing slow. I can't seem to figure out how to catch them deep even after I find them with the fish finder. Also, when the tie is slow like this week where it is 90 all week, I work my baits faster than I should. I just like to turn and burn. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted July 29, 2015 Super User Posted July 29, 2015 Deep water for me. Quote
TwoCan Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Lately, it's been fishing with somebody new. My buddy and I have always fished, not always together but we would always exchange stories. He just got a new bass boat and he is all about going out all the time, which I have to say isn't a bad thing. What I struggle with is the frustration that he has always been a bank fisherman so he still is only fishing in 3-5 feet of water even if he is in the boat. It's July, the water temps are 85+ degrees, THEY AINT HERE Also, he tends to see a spot and say "that looks like a good spot for bass" instead of listening to me talk about "patterns", "seasons", "baitfish". Not trying to be a know it all. It's just when you go out 2 weeks in a row, nobody is listening and you're not catching anything. It gets old quick! Quote

It gets old quick! so true.. and i hate when they want to burn the trolling motor right through a spot where you could almost anchor and pick it apart instead of making 3 casts and being in another spot.

OntarioFishingGuy Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 This may seem surprising, but my main weakness is fishing for shallow largemouth. I'm just plain bad at it. I am much more comfortable with deep smallies. 3 Quote
clh121787 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Having 6-9 rods rigged up all with different variations of T-rigs C-rigs weightless worm/fluke and Jigs. And that's it all the time. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted July 30, 2015 Super User Posted July 30, 2015 having patience with lipped crankbaits , i just don't have confidence in them anymore . i have not a drop of confidence in spinnerbaits or heavy carolina rigs ..... Quote
