Things that make you mad on the water

So, I'm not the only one . I try real hard to get the positioned perfectly and somehow wind up right on top of the cover .

Same here, no telling how many fish I've run off cover when trying to be stealthy

I fish cuz i love to, so i dont let much get me "mad" while im doing so.

 Much like A-Jay, Id rather lean towards the positives, negativity bites

Paraphrasing from one of my favorite fishing authors, when you go on a fishing trip all you really have a right to hope for is that it's not awful.   No major mechanical problems, no bodily injury, no major loss of expensive fishing equipment etc...     Setting the expectations there, you allow yourself to be grateful for just about anything else, because you are out on the water.

 

Zen stuff there, and it's taken me some time to get there, but I think I've made it.

Just had a guy today see me catch a fish came right next to me and set up camp with his gf 5 feet away. As he continued to cast right next to where i was casting and started talking to me about how he steals all his lures. I just laughed and walked away.
