Fish all conditions. Rain sun muddy water choppy water. Fish still got to eat.
A very intelligent family friend of mine told me two things right after I graduated high schol. One- " two thirds of the people you'll meet will be a#@h*#!s." And two- "never trust anyone who's wearing a suit ". Both excellent advice and very true.
Hook sets are free. An older guy I fished with as a kid would tell me that
Jimmy Houston always said "Go early and stay late" That stuck with me as a teenager.
I was fishing with one of my Dad's best friend when I was 10 years old. I missed a bass and said,"Shit." Mr. Domain said young man--reel in your line we are--well you are done for the day. We rode back to the dock in silence and when we arrived at the dock and he asked me to gather my stuff and get out and I just asked why, Here is what he said, There is no need to use profanity while fishing--I know you were raised better and profanity is just a lack of intelligence and vocabulary. Either you catch them or you miss them. This is suppose to be fun--suppose to be a memory--and please be sure to tell your Dad why I dropped you off---If you don't I will....That was 60+ years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. And yes my Father asked me why and yes I told him..
My neighbor as a kid was a great fisherman and he ask me one day if I’d been catching em and I said no not catching many ! He said let me teach you something , if you buy the boat , gas and tackle then it’s your story and you get to tell it anyways you want ! Then he ask me again , you been catching em ! lol
He only needs to hide behind something as big as one of his eyes to think he is safe
When in bear country make sure to have someone older and/or slower than you so you can get away to safety.
Some of the best advice I got from my dad "To have a friend you have to be a friend."
.

Somebody's Dad's best friend was a jerk. Correct the kid and let him fish. Everybody makes mistakes.
"Fishing lures are designed to catch anglers! Keep it simple."
Never trust a man with no shirt on
Should've told him that cussing is fun.Quote:

Bill Dance once said when your wife gets mad at you, go buy a new fishing pole. Your wife will still be mad at you, but at least you have a new pole.
match the hatch, aka, figure out where and what they are feeding on, figure out something close to match and put it in those areas ....Trout fisherman buddy from Canada and it turns out he was really smart.
When worm fishing….
Thump, thump. The first thump is a fish eating your bait. The second thump is the fish spitting it out.
Good luck!
Don’t date that girl-she is certifiably crazy!
I asked a guy at the bait shop when we used to drift minnows and were reloading about how to catch the fish. We weren't doing too good. He said "just be on the water, you're not going to catch them here."
If you think you got a bite, Pull out early
