There are a bunch of guys that regularly catch fish and report on the web that have huge networks of other fishermen so they always have a pulse on teh fish and also some that don't have regular jobs so they can fish whenever they want. More power to them, but you cannot basleine the fishing based on their success. I see a lot of people becom disheartened that they are not catching a lot of fish. |
Amount of time on the water is something we talk about often at the shop.
It's tough to come up with an actual mathematical equation
but the more time spent on the water the more your results from it grow exponentially.
I figure for starters your line is in the water more. And even more importantly you're learning and gaining experience at a faster rate. It just all multiplies into results.
