Just saw a video with gerald swindle from westernbass. It was a mental game thing and he mentioned how most people are showing up to the lake with their rods rigged up...but that theyre also beat before they even show up because of this. He was talking about listening to the lake and throwing what they want vs throwing what you want.
I had a moment of clarity (maybe) because I rig up the night before a trip. In my defense each of the lakes I fish are 2 and the other 2.5 hours away, so just seemed like the smart thing to do. Now Ill retie i dont care and actually did that in my 2 recent trips, retied when I got to my spot cuz the water was so clear. But...I do tend to fish what I have tied on for a while and give them a shot. watching that Gman video has me second guessing myself though and starting to thing I should just tie on when Im on the water.
What do you fellas do?
