[QUOTE="Stobber, post: 261692, member: 6556"] As previously stated, work on your launching/trailering techniques. Boat control is huge. After that, be patient and just fish. You will develop your style and what you will gain confidence in. I was fishing on Sunday and everyone was drifting, I hate drifting. I like to spot lock and pick apart structure. EVERY SINGLE BOAT thought I was the devil and insisted on drifting withing 30 feet of me, not kidding, right where I was casting. I am sure I was anchored in their drift line, but guess what, they were drifting through my zone just as much. Don't be a dick, you don't own a spot or the lake, just becuase you think someone is wrong, that same person thinks your are wrong. Out of the 20 people I waved at, maybe 5 returned the wave, I just don't get it. Don't let these things bother you, keep a smile on your face and do your thing. Fisherman are very bullheaded, they think they have the best information and that everyone else wants it, and they put up their guard and always act like a hard-ass. Anyways, got off on a tangent. I am in Williston and go out quite a bit, you ever want to tag along, just let me know, I can show you a few things, but I am no expert, I am learning so much every time I go out. [/QUOTE]
