It's too close to what I do in golf. So, I guess I will just stick with fisher. I'd like to set you straight about fishing right here at the beginning. Now luck plays a part in fishing as it does in all things in life. But that it controls fishing is just plain wrong.
Successful fishers are people who are intelligent, experienced, persistent and well trained.
Good fishers know the territory and they know and understand their target. They faithfully study the waters and they know the best places to fish, they know where the fish hide at various times of the day and various times of the year. They know exactly what type of bait or lure to use and exactly where to cast it. They manage their time well. If a half an hour in one spot is not getting them anywhere they study the situation, learn something from it and move on to a new locale.
