Mine was:

Best - Don't over think it!

Worst - Don't worry about the hook! (given while being taught how to pitch, right before I buried the hook in my hand)

Best: hook sets are free

Worst: stick to the tried and true baits. If I would have listened, I probably would have given up fishing but instead I branched out.

Best KEEP UM BAIT IN WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best: when fishing shallow water "it's always a little deeper than you think."

The good-Slow down when jig fishing.

The bad-Le'ts leave these fish to find some bigger ones in another spot.

Buy a Boat

Best: Fish the most where others fish the least... Learn those areas in detail and you'll probably find fish that have never seen a hook. Keep your area quiet and you'll have it to yourself for years to come.

Worst: This isn't a good day to Fish

BIG-O says: "Worst: This isn't a good day to Fish"...reminds me of a certain day back in May of 2010 on a certain Pickwick Lake. Hahaha!

Best - 55 degree Water? Grab your spinnerbait, don't take your foot off the trolling motor, look for light spots. - Dad Also, 90% of the fish are in 10% of the water. AND - Turtles on the logs? fish shallow.

Worst - " If you keep hitting that Female with your white Lizard, she will leave the bed." ( Next time I bumped her, she inhaled that white Lizard) Also -- " These fish won't strike a topwater when the suns gets bright and the wind lays down" ( Filled my limit of spots on Lake Norman on a Sammy 65... then I gave the boater a Sammy 65) tehehe.

Best piece of advice: Join a bass club

Worst piece of advice: from myself, The Flying Lure looks like it will work.

Worst: Granddaddy around 1959: "What's ya doin' with that rubber worm?

We got plenty of worms and minnows".

Best: Sports show in the winter of '98: "You need to give this a try, it's called a Senko".

Best: Quit changing baits so often, to catch a fish your hooks gotta be wet

Worst: Fish don't bite on bluebird days

Best- When you can't seem to figure them out stop and eat a sandwich.

Worst - After you feel the bite, reel your slack in slowly, count to three and set the hook...... That's Hogwash.

Worst: Rubber worms won't catch fish!!!! Keep spawning females, the roe is great with scrambled eggs!!!!

Best: Confidence is key to catching fish. Keep learning, but never forget the classic standards. (this one thing has helped me catch fish when I thought nothing would work, still keep white inline mepps spinners in the box)
