my issue is that I always hit the water with at least one new technique or tactic or kind of bait I want to throw..... I make a half dozen casts with it then swap it out for my comfort zone lure...... horny toads.....

even though I can go all over the lake and not get a bite on a toad.... i keep one tied on. or at the ready........

so i guess my biggest problem is over relying on my crutch...... thank you zoom bait company for making me weak..... lol

I lack precise control when I have to crank deep weeds.  I get frustrated to easy and give up.

deep crankin,clear water, new place and last but not least NO COVER im best 10 foot or less stained to muddy water with lotsa cover and structure my strongest areas with a jig or plastic

Impatience.  Wanting instant gratification when trying something new.

I can make several fruitless casts with baits I like, because I know they can be productive.

Try something new.  I have to fight the urge to abandon it after just a few casts w/o a hit.

Intellectually, I understand that makes no sense, because what I am trying is a proven product.  Nonetheless, the heart often overrules the brain.

I dont have any weaknesses, I just fish some baits better than others.

That sir is contradiction in terms and if you're convinced you have no weakness then your weakness is lack of humility and/or overconfidence. No offense meant; just an observation.

Lack of analysis is my primary weakness. Instead of taking several minutes to decipher what conditions I'm facing and hence what to throw, I'll tie on what I want to fish with and go with that.

Ignorance would be my secondary weakness. My studying of when/what/where to fish is sporadic at best and I don't always apply what I've learned immediately which goes back to #1.

I struggle with shakey heads and the drop shot.

I just always give up on them to soon I think.

Really every year I develop strength in new area and add it to my bag of tricks. I think my greatest weakness is wanting to be good at everything all at once. I have to realize that it takes time to learn a new technique. Last year and this year I have been working on Jigs and Jerkbaits. So far I have had real success.

I will discover a pattern and then over analyze it and try to make it better. When i should have just stick with what was working originally.

Amen Brother!

Also sometimes I change wayyyy too much.Kitchen sink thrown in the first 2 hrs,which can be but seldomly rewarding.

im not a good jig guy at all. i do well with shakey heads, weighted wacky rigs, texas and carolina. i just cant get the jig bite down.

and the fact i dont fish every day.

never caught a bass in my life on a jig, and trust me ive fished em. just not my stroke.

I'm not a good jig fisherman, I give up on it too easy and switch to a T-rig or tube instead.  I really don't understand why I give up so easy.  I also don't know why I don't like a carolina rig, never really fished one but I can't make myself fish one....but I need to

I'm also bias against the physical appearance of baits, whether shape or colors.  I don't like big dead ringers and some of my buddies are killing them on them right now.  Also don't like bright crank baits or worms with chartreuse, but I'm working on that on.

Im very impatient

I let the wind Bother me all too much

I have yet to understand my electronics

I too expect instant gratification when I throw something new

I take WAY too much tackle on my boat with me. I have a large plastic tote stuffed with plastic baits,most I will never throw,but take em just in case.

Jigs- Just cant bring myself to fish them or crankbaits

anything involving touching the bottom, other than soft plastics.  jigs and spinner baits on the bottom drive me insane.  as soon as it touches the bottom, i imagine its suddenly grassed up, and have to reel in to check it.  i have no confidence in jigging or bouncing a spinnerbait on the bottom.

I can fish plastic's and jigs all day..that's one area where I have plenty of patience..what I truely suck at is...finding good size fish and catching them, i.e. PB is 5.4..so not all of us so. cali guys get the big un's.. :-[ Also I suck at flippin my baitcaster, I know pratice, practice ect..

Just got a sonar, am tryin to learn to use it proplerly to find structure.

Lack of patience. I'm always changing locations and trying a new lure when the one I've been using doesn't produce within three casts.

I'm cheap/broke so it makes me hesitant to throw my "good" lures under anything less than prime conditions. And I will do anything in my power to get one back if it does get caught.

I can't get behind the wacky rigged worms, it sounds like a good idea but when I try it, it just doesn't look right to me.

ADHD. Formally diagnosed. I can't even tell you how many fish I've lost because I was screwing around with something else, trying to fish two poles, or just letting my mind wander!

Yeah, I, too hate when boats drive by with girls in bikinis while I'm fishing.
