What do you do best? 

 

For me, since I fish from a canoe, it's boat control. I can fish in the wind. I can fish current. I can sidle up to bass and they don't know I'm coming. I can follow the contours of a weed bed and or track straight and true across a lake. I've even managed some boat control when I've a rod with a fish at the far end in one hand and a paddle in the other. 

 

How 'bout you?

Guessing where bass are at . I see something and guess bass are there , then try to catch some . I do enough good guessing in a day , I usually catch some fish .

I REALLY like putting my friends on fish and I am REALLY good with a net!

 

 

 

                                                        

Honestly one of my better assets is organization/preparation.  I'm a very type A kind of person when it comes to my tackle and gear.  I have a specific location for everything in my boat and stuff always goes back so its there the next time I need it.  I hate having clutter laying around.

 

Keeping my gear in top shape helps catch more fish, I believe.  Good line, strong knots, sharp hooks, tools at the ready to remove hooks, and a reliable boat/motor are all variables that I can control...so I'm going to control them.

I am really good at drinking beer...

 

In regards to bass fishing, I am really good at watching others succeed, and then me purchasing gear based on other people's successes!

Keep my hook in the water the longest 

I'm a poor fisherman, but I keep going.   There is something to be said for tenacity, stubbornness, and the fact you still love to go fishing after a lifetime of not being great at it.    

 

I fished with a Bassmaster Classic runner up for a day when I was in High School.   Had the same realization as a kid who would have played with Mike Jordan....yeah I love doing this, but I'm never going to be on that level.   

"Best" is a relative term in my eyes.

But I'm better at this than say, pulling Taffy.

I'm extremely good at finding punky wood.

This is an important skill to have.

I'm actually pretty good at putting patterns together after I catch that first bass.  The problem is finding that first bass.

Repairing aircraft electronics in a high tempo environment. If they ever start making electro-mechanical fishing lures I’ll be in business.

I've gotten pretty good at not skunking, been almost a full year and many dozens of trips since I blanked. Not always catching anything worth showing off, but I'm catching something at least.

When it comes to fishing:

 

When I’m good, I’m very, very good. 
But when I’m bad, I am horrid! 

Find fish and rim coolers, I leave the second part out when rec fishing.

Get my butt to the lake. No matter how exhausted, how late I stayed up the night before, no matter how I’m feeling, if I make a plan to fish I will be at that launch before sunrise. 
 

I like to think I’m pretty good with the topwater stick in my hand too ?

 Don't recall the last time I got skunked, which is explained by being good at catching little bass and pickerel. When I get  bored trying to get big guys I go down in bait size, hence the little fish.

I'm pretty good at DIYing stuff that would have been cheaper to just buy at the store.  

Chunking a worm ?

 

 

 

 

And teaching others how to chunk a worm.

 

 

soft plastics.........not much else.......

What I think I do best is, think outside of the box when it comes to fishing.

I am best at being in love with my wife. As far as fishing goes, I would say that I am best at crankbait fishing.

 

I'm best at locating snags.  If there is a way to hang a lure, I will find it.  I am also good at replacing tackle I lost, with way more tackle than I loose.

That's a tough question. I guess what I do best is develop a particular skill then beat it to death. I like to fish certain style baits relentlessly until I get into a grove and feel like I have mastered all nuances of a particular style of fishing. When it all clicks you get a feeling of confidence and harmony with both your chosen tackle & your performance making that bait come alive. It's almost spiritual because you can sense when your going to get bit. When it's all working you are having more fun than you should but when it isn't your fishing life sucks.
