#11562, "Your favorite generalities and truisms"


  

          

A few of mine...

"Try fishing fast, medium, and slow"

"Fish on the top, middle, and bottom"

"Try a big lure for big fish"

"Try a small lure for big fish"

"The preferred water temperature for the bass is ___"

"Bass can survive temperatures from __ to __ "

"Fish points, humps, bluffs, flats, saddles, and rock piles"

"If you aren't getting a bite, try something else"

"Vary the retrieve"

"Big bass require deep water access"

"Bass feed on crawfish, shad, bluegill, shiners, and trout"

"Big bass bite in the morning and evening"

"Big bass bite during the middle of the day"

You won't catch a fish if your line is not in the water :-)

If you're not losing tackle, you're not fishing hard enough.

ROFL. Me and Jamon used to say that to eachother constantly back in high school. We HATED losing lures. So if either one of us lost a lure the other guy would say, "If you're not losing lures, you're not catching fish". I think that was a Roland Martin-ism.

LOL. That's one my dad always told me and my brother when we were little. We would always be super bummed if we lost lures, but my dad would be cool about it and just tell us that little saying. Another good one of his is, "If you're not catching fish, you're not holding you're mouth right."

"Don't try to figure 'em out, just fish hard", or something like that... Allan Cole

"Big fish don't chase" is one of my favorite pieces of BS that I used to believe hahahaha

Sometime the days you dont catch any are the days you learn the most

Try fishing docks. And in between docks.

anything involving "magical water temperatures"

try to fill your limit, then work on getting big ones in the boat

Get big ones in the boat, then try to fill your limit

your worst day fishing is better than your best day working -
what if you are a pro-fisherman?

"Thats why they call it fishin' not catchin'"

"we'll eventually get a big one" while catching dink after dink

Ryan Thoni


If people concentrated on the important things in life there would be a shortage of fishing poles.

<snip>

your worst day fishing is better than your best day working -

<snip>

That is the worst line ever in my book. Your worst day fishing just might cost you your life. Lets see, close a million dollar deal and make sick commissions or, and I have a great real time example, fish 48 degree Lake Okeechobee and not be able to buy a bite? Come on. Whoever coined the "you worst day _________, beats your best day work" should be shot. A good day at work is usually pretty darn fulfilling and rewarding. Bad days fishing are BAD. And they can be especially bad if broken equipment and blood loss is involved.

Some more:

90% of the fish are in 10% of the lake

Grass equals bass

When you think your fishing slow, slow down even more

Fish your strengths

From Bill Dance: "Remember use the right bait, at the right depth, in the right color, with the right presentation, and you WILL catch bass" Uuhh, Ya think?!

"Fish don't have hands."

I was at a bass club meeting a while ago when one of the old salty dogs in there said that to me in reference to god only knows what...Yeah, thanks a lot buddy.
