Everyone has little things they do to make their fishing day better. Maybe you can list  one or two of them  for all to see.Thanks

 

I always have super glue on board ,mainly to glue plastics onto jig heads. They stay put and last longer. Iv`e been doing this for over 25 years now.The glue can be used to repair  certain  torn plastics too.

 

If something is really important that you need to take on a trip,put your vehicle keys in or on it.

This may be helpful in your latter years.

Lets hear your tip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bring extra boat plugs.

De-barb treble hooks.

Bring a spare spool of line-backlashes can ruin a whole spool.

No lure color will ruin the appetite of a feeding bass.

No lure color will give an inactive bass an appetite.

No lure color will destroy the appetite of a feeding bass.

No lure color will give an inactive bass an appetite.

Don't start this 

My tip of the day is to put leaders on braid because bass can see it. 

 

 

Aaaaand go!

Set out the knipex hook cutters and show the guy I am fishing with where they are.

Show my boat partner how to put in a waypoint on the lowrance.

don't let the bait monkey ruin your marriage

Use a lighter to "cut" really heavy braid, it's alot easier than carrying around braid scissors or a knife. 

lol @ putting your keys on stuff.....  when i go on a fishing trip, i typically stash some drinks and snacks in the fridge the night before.  i then write a note to remind me of the food and drinks and put my keys on that note.... ridiculous i know, but it beats getting on the lake to realize i've left my goodies at home!

aside from that, my tip is to wear a life jacket and always let someone know where you're going.

A leader is necessary with braided line...If you believe it is

one other crucial tip that i learned on a recent outing......  if you plan on using a battery to power your fish finder in the kayak, you should probably make certain you re-charged the battery from the last couple outings.....   

Just don't forget your PFD, and your tackle.

Or a battery in anything for that matter.  Got to the lake with a buddy one morning and he hadn't charged the batteries.  2 hour round trip back home to get a spare and we were finally on the water.

Just don't forget your PFD, and your tackle.

 

darren, as a kayak guy you can appreciate this one.....  never leave your kayak seat at home!!!!  i drove about 1h15min to the lake once to realize i had no seat for my sit in kayak i had at the time.  it was impossible to fish without the seat so my day was pretty much ruined!!

yeah it was a sickening feeling just for the fish finder..... i can only imagine the batteries to power the boat!!!!!

Indeed, I can appreciate it!

 

I have both left my PFD AND my tackle

at home before!!

 

Made for a "not much to do" trip that day, 

if it weren't for my wife brining them to me!

Never trust a fart

Never trust a fart

Or pass a rest room without attempting to empty your bladder. You never know how long it will be before you have another opportunity.

 

Always have a pair of side cutters within reach. Attempting to locate them when a fish is hooked on one treble and your hand is hooked to the other will teach you this the hard way

Ask Matt Allen about leaders with A-rigs when using braid 

 

I have had experiences with straight braid vs braid w/leader that will keep me using leaders for as long as I fish. Of course I won't fish a leader when fishing heavy slop etc but you get the idea

Don't brag to your boss, best friend, lover,  on how great the fishing is on your honey hole. You can take it from there

Find the fish, it's makes for a more fun day.

No lure color will ruin the appetite of a feeding bass.

No lure color will give an inactive bass an appetite.

Rolo, I believe you, but I can't count the number of times that I have found active bass, the instant I change lure colors. In the same place they were inactive before I changed colors.

Make sure you have the trailer locked onto the ball hitch.  Make sure to always run your motor at least 5 min before you leave the house. Keep your toilet paper in a plastic bag!!!!
