I was fishing a evening tournament last night on a lake that everyone struggles. I was thinking about how the year has been for me this far. I feel it has been a success thus far. We have alot of tournaments left to go. My goal is attainable, I try to catch fish every trip out. I try and make the best of the presentation and if I don't get bites it just wasn't my day. I would like to win 1st atleast once this year.(twice the bridemaid thus far) I would also like to win AOY in our club.

So what is your goals? How do you go about obtaining them? Are you like me and have a ladder of goals that you want to see how high you can get?

When I first started fishing tournaments all I wanted to do is win! I soon realized that I was not taking the right approach. Now I enter a tournament with the mindset of slowing down and really try to figure out what the fish want and how. I try to focus on each cast and one fish at a time! So far this has not got me a win, but has consistently put towards the top! I always have a goal to win angler of the year in my club, but I focus on each fish then let the chips fall where they may! Good luck hope all of your goals are obtained!
