"Never leave fish to find fish"

I don't know if I can totally expalin this to you, but this is something I started saying while tournament fishing. If you are in an area and catching fish, why leave. I developed a bad habit of thinking I could fish the entire lake if I moved around enough and eventually I would find the honey hole.....

Not true, all I did was fish over what I was looking for. In a way this is similar to "Slow down" but in my opinion, this defines it a little more. If you are catching fish in a particular area or a particular way, don't abandon what you have in hopes of finding the "jackpot", fine tune what you have discovered already!

I hope that helps, I have had a long weekend and I feel like I am having trouble getting the words from my brain to the keyboard

This advice will not always work for you. In my opinion if you want a top finish there will be times you will need to leave fish.

Don't forget to put the plug in the boat

Don't forget the pipe

for the tobacco  :

Forget the past and fish the moment

Try to take a child or veteran along with you.

Learn thy prey and seasonal movements.

   

U' 8-)can't catch fish if the baits not in the water

wear your pfd.

Always make sure that your drag is set correctly

Failure to do this could result in lost lures, lost fish, broken lines and broken hearts.

remember to check your line and retie often

Dont ask your fellow fisherman what are they hitting on or where are the bass at, ask them how deep they are caughting them

Catching would be a better choice. 

Keep your line wet; keep your ears and eyes open

You must be able to fish all the different weather conditions!

find the bait and the fish will be there.
