Title: Re: Walleye Fishing Lesson
Post by mastertangler on Feb 4th, 2012 at 5:16am
Westwood is certainly onto something here...........

When people find out I'm a fish-a-holic I often hear the comment......."Oh I don't have the patience to fish"

Inside I can't help but crack up at that comment..........Patience while fishing is probably one of my least emphasized attributes. While I may have discipline to achieve a slow retrieve if I think that is the key, I would not describe my fishing style as one of patience.

I am always trying something new if I'm not getting a bite unless I am confident in my presentation. It is not uncommon for me to put something on......make 5 casts.......dislike what I see.......and slap something else on only to repeat the entire process another 5 casts later.........eventually I get where I want to be and that is when perseverance kicks in. I think patience and perseverance are often confused. I'm not a patient fisherman but I'm never bored either........there is always something new to try..........some where new to go..........a different wrinkle, a different line test, a different speed......
