The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information
Mental Game
I am curious about how the rest of you tournament fisherman stay focused on the water. From pre-fishing...to tournament day.....how do you cope with the changing conditions, fishing pressure ( on the fish), and decision making through out the day.
I don't know HOW many times I have pre fished and done outstanding....and come out with a great plan and/or milk run and pattern...only to have it blow up on tournament day. The frustration levels go higher and higher, which makes it more difficult to focus.
What do you do? Do you have a fall-back pattern....like dragging a rig, flipping bushes, crankbaits......or do you just stick to what you THOUGHT was the right pattern and hope it turns out? Of Course, experience level and familiarization of the water is a big factor, but generally speaking.....I am curious how you guys approach it.
Thanks
Jeff

Did you know that "a lot" is two words? Apparently not.

Also I am not better than anyone else out there in fishing I might just have a mental edge over some. -

You guys are killing me. I wish I could come over to the firey lake of hell to watch all of this go down.
