Not a thread about who's the best or worst, but just about honest improvements you'd like to make to your own fishing or mentality...
Personally, I feel like I've got quite a lot of information in my head but sometimes need to apply it more effectively to my fishing. I catch fish consistently but regularly face new situations where I'm not sure I'm fishing a method correctly in the conditions. An understanding of the theory gets me off on the right foot, but if I don't catch early on in a new set of conditions then I start to doubt myself and lose confidence. "Is this method really right in these conditions?". Head says 'yes', lack of fish says 'no'. It's wholey down to a lack of practical experience, even though I'm fairly good at picking up new methods.
There isn't one method I want to learn or master or anything like that, but I'm in a frustrating phase at the moment. I want to be better, but I'm just waiting for everything to click in to place. I really hope it will, and i just wish it would hurry up!
What do you wish you were better at? A method? A certain set of conditions? Reading the water? Just wish you found it easier putting 2 and 2 together, like me? Or do you just wish you'd taken up golf instead of fishing?
