Fish more often, and catch more fish.

Last 30yrs I've only been fishing a few times a year, which is FAR DIFFERENT than it used to be when fishing with my old buddy Rich 35-40yrs ago, fishing freshwater in canoe weekend days, and salt Walter from the bank weekend nights.

This was every Friday night after work to Sunday Night... sometimes causing Monday day to be a fishing day instead of working! 

I want back in.

I got hired back on with my old employer after being rehired as a contractor with no PTO, so I will get back into kayak fishing with my state club more often.  I'm rigging up a brand new kayak and will put the a MegaLive 2 and Explore unit on it (old yak had Helix10 and MegaLive1).  Already have a Newport NK300 and other rigging on it.  Can't wait to get it slimes and fish more lakes in the southern part of MO.

Catch more fish in an area I don't know.

I'm looking at Norway Me. Area, canoe access without BS SKI/Big boats.....

Most of the small ponds up there are LL Access only....I might have to start asking permission.

Fishing Jigs .I tried years ago with 3/8-1/2 and big trailers... and didn't do well.

I've given myself a better chance with lighter jigs, and by reading this forum on the 3/8- 1/2 I already have. I'm a slow fishing guy, Jig fishing should be natural, but it isn't for some reason.

I am going to concentrate on Jigs this year, I now have 1/4-1/2oz now ,and. I have more sensitive rods, 

I actually bought small craws instead of the 4-5" I already had.

We'll see if smaller helps, I can't see why it'll hurt, I don't catch much on them now.
