Steveo-1969 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Welcome to Bass Resource @Lamb25. Are you sure fishing is something you enjoy? Normally when someone has trouble staying committed to something it’s because they don’t like it very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryH Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Welcome aboard.. it’s hard to say how to keep someone else committed. Some like fishing by themselves for the peace and quiet with nature. Some like the camaraderie of fishing with friends and then there’s the competitive side. You need to figure out what you’re looking to get out of it. Good luck on your journey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Darren. Posted March 21 Super User Share Posted March 21 Welcome aboard! Ways to stay committed...hmm. Well, first is having fun with it. If it is too stressful with all the lures and line and such, go simple. Live bait, simple hooks, floats/bobbers. Feel the tug of a fish.... As for life sometimes getting in the way. I can *totally* get that. I'm in that phase right now. I am not fishing like I was pre-Covid. I still read up on the sport, I follow this forum almost daily and try to stay connected even if I don't get out like I used to. My sons try to get me out all the time, I just don't have the passion I used to have. Again, life changes (job changes, Covid, etc). I fully plan on getting back to a "regular" fishing habit, but not as intense as before. Just have to find where fishing is as a priority in your life. If it's an occasional thing, then enjoy it occasionally... and so on. Not sure that helps you at all.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
