NJ_Stump_Grinder Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 I'm with JJ Sllllllllloooooow it down. I always feel after a day of fishing that I might have done a lot better if I'd have just slowed down my presentations. I also need to work on my hooksets..... sometimes I just wait to freakin long and never get that next "tap". Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 13, 2005 Super User Posted March 13, 2005 I an going to get in better health and condition by joining a local health club and swimming and doing some light weight lifting. Want to drop about 30 pounds to take the pressure off my back and knees. Quote
Big_Bass_Rich Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 If less is more, then I should be the master of bassin! lol My biggest change will probably be to force myself not to fish only confidence baits. I always found myself last season impatient with anything besides my favourite baits if they didn't catch fish immediately, so this year I will have to gain back confidence in my other baits and be patient with them.

BassSER Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I just bought a new fish locator. Now, I just need to figure out how to put it to good use, i.e.: off-shore structure. Sometimes, they're just not on the bank. Quote
mathias Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 1. No longer put Berkley Vanish on my reels so I lose less fish! Why do you say you lose fish with vanish? Do you guys use it, as a leader or full spool? Can the vanish break easily? This season, i'll try to be more efficient with my pitching. I will fish more largemouths so I will use more jigs. I will also work hard to find a great buddy to fish with. Quote
Wormy Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I have always been drawn to shallow water like 3-5 foot deep and I want to figure out how to catch fish in the 15-25 foot range. That is where most of the fish are right now according to my graphs and the wind was really bad this weekend so I couldn't ever get a shot at them. I will this next weekend though. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 14, 2005 Super User Posted March 14, 2005 Wormy, I fish deep structure because that's where the big fish live. No doubt they come into the shallows occasionally and that's when guys catch them, but I believe they spend most of the time suspended near or on structure in deeper water. I suggest you throw tubes, Carolina rigged lizards and Texas rigged worms. Quote
sinker48 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 JT Two changes lighter line on spinning rigs and learn to master my baitcasting reel. Good luck! Sinker48 Quote
