Successful Fishermen Understand the “Why?”

David McClure
Jul 7, 2009

I always like to tell people that I am not going fishing. Iโ€™m going catching. Thereโ€™s a big difference.

I do still go fishing. I love to experiment. Experience truly is the best teacher (if you are paying attention).

So whatโ€™s the difference between fishing and catching? What makes some anglers successful, while others struggle?

Itโ€™s an understanding of the โ€œWhy?โ€.

So what is the โ€œWhy?โ€ Simply put, itโ€™s the reason you are doing what you are doing. If you can answer these questions every time you are fishing then you may be close:

  1. Why am I using this lure?
  2. Why am I presenting it this way?
  3. Why am I fishing it in this spot?
  4. Why am I using this line?
  5. Why is it working or (more likely) not working?

I will elaborate more on these subjects, click here.
