Not having a boat

Never fished a river

Never really fished a major body of water

I don't like to think of them as weaknesses, but challenges.

1. I need to learn to fish soft plastics, other than T-rigged worms.

2. I Should take more time for weekend trips. Most of my fishing is after work or maybe a Saturday or Sunday afternoon at the two local lakes. I only live a couple of hours from a half-dozen larger lakes, but I can't seem to tear myself away from "everyday stuff" to make the trip.

I like many already stated am a bank beater, so fishing out in deeper water is my weakpoint 100%.

Need to add carolina rigs, and dropshot rigs to my arsenal.

I can say this website has helped me improve the quality of my gear and get into the "senko" style baits.

fishing with cranks, i love fishing with plastic and jigs but for some reason i do not like fishing with a crank bait i usually get ticked and quit fishing with it. :-/

getting to excited...  This is bad for me.. I will rat nest or over shoot my target and get a snag.  I will just make some type of dumb move.    I have a long list of dumb thing i have done when I got too exited when fishing. 

Catching fish on spinner baits

Drop Shotting

Reading 2-D sonar

#1 reading current in a river, I am uncomfortable with it, and therefor struggle.

#2, and this is a stupid one, I seem to like to leave fish to find fish.

#3 when things go wrong in a tournament I get VERY frustrated, which only leads to things continuing to go wrong.

My major weakness is that I constantly buy tackle and or equipment that I definitely do not need....

1. Reading electronics...apparently no one can do that

2. Fishing water 10+ ft.

3. Carolina Rig/Drop shot/Shakey Head

Electronics; You can never learn enough about electronics!

Flipping & Pitching; I don't use these techniques enough!

Jigs; I just don't use them enough!

Fishing a big body of water; I do not prefish them correctly (a mistake i will fix)

Fishing in Spring (Cold Water)

I promise i will work on these! 

Crankbaits,Senkos and not committing to offshore structure

Well, I don't own a boat... :-[  Gee, I really don't have any weaknesses.....cept finding the dang fish.. ;D

Also, I get frustrated when I fish with someone that moves to fast..i.e. 3 cast's and move on.. :

adjusting to changeing conditions during the fishing day

What are your fishing Weaknesses?

How would you like that, 'numerically' or 'alphabetically'?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Im with ya on that brother.......mine is lck of expierencs with electronics and techniques... I can find the fish but im only 23 and have a hard time picking the right lure,or presentation

My fishing weaknesses:

- deep water

- electronics - I hear they do more than depth and temp?

- trying new techniques with patience

- fishing in wind

- buzzbaits

- most topwater - intend to try sammy this year...

- fishing cold water

- fishing clear water

- fishing hot water

maybe I should work on my golf game...

i wish i had more patients, i get so mad late in a tournament and i have a empty live well. I wish i could try a new bait, technique and fish it long enough to see if it will work or not.

I would have to say my biggest weakness is to frequently going back to methods Im most comfortable with...which might be one of my strengths too...wierd

I fish too many different bodies of water because I hear slight rumours of good fishing. I go and find out it is not.

1. I dont know the depth of the water im fishing when in my canoe

2. I'm not really good with a baitcaster but getting better

3. I fish from the bank too much because I dont want to take the canoe out

4. I try to vary lures but I go back to my soft plastics most of the time

Work gets in the way....LOL !!!

So do so many other things.

So many lures; so little time to fish !!

1. Not being able to tell myself "one more cast"

2. Fishing in the wind (not using the wind to my advantage)

3. fishing deeper water

you guys are too hard on yourselves. fishing is fun

**

finding a boat parked on 'my' spot. some guys in our balt/dc reservoirs will work a prime spot all day because the lakes are small (e.g. 500-900 acres), few in number, and surrounded by millions of people. Around here, when you get a shot at prime real estate on Saturday, you don't let go. <my weakness is adjusting on the fly and not getting too frustrated when they don't move all day>

Offshore structure is my goal for this year

Im not very good at drop shotting or winter fishing.

I havent been very successful with jigs but i think most of my porblem is the fat line i was using on them

Never gaught a fish on a buzzbait but have never really tried them a whole lot

Never caught a fish on a spinnerbait but ive only used them a few times im gonna try more this year
