Tournament fishing is a whole different picture compared to fishing for fun. This article is “right on” about preparation and without it don’t look for a successful outing. Thanks Ron!
I would like to comment on your statement; “Tournament fishing is a whole different picture compared to fishing for fun.” There is one thing you have forgotten. I myself fish the tournament circuit. Yes, it is a job. But, it is fun, and you have to learn to have fun first and foremost before you can enjoy the stress of tournament fishing. Tournament fishing is a mental and physical game of competiton mainly against you and the fish, not so much the other anglers. So, what I am trying to say is; “You can’t take the fun out of anything you do in life, other wish it no longer a challenge in life.” Growing up in life I was taught a challenge is not only using your mind and body, but, it is suppose to be fun at the same time.
