The Confidence Game

Confidence holds the key to catching fish consistently. It's critical to believe in the spot you are fishing, the technique you are using, and the bait or lure secured to the end of the line. When you begin to have doubts about any facet of the process, it's time to make a change. Serious anglers go through the mental exercise of thinking that a fish is about to grab their bait. They work their offering as if something is about to happen. If they lose that edge, they change baits or lures, try another technique, or change spots. Remember that there are several effective approaches to catching any fish. Have confidence in the one you are using and it should produce positive results.
