Focus

How important is that word in tournament fishing? How many times have you missed a fish because your mind was somewhere else? If you’re typical, you’ve had both of these types of experiences many times. How many times have you thought after a tournament that you should have done this or that? You hear it all the time in sports and in life: “You’ve got to stay focused.” What does that word focused really mean and how can it help us catch fish? The dictionary explains the word focus as, “the concentration of energy on something.” That makes sense. If I can keep my concentration on fishing and only fishing, I’ll be better off at the end of the day. Focus on the task at hand, whatever it happens to be. Focus on what it is you’re trying to accomplish. This is just a litte list of what makes us lose Focus: Other compertitors, getting a limit of fish, winning the money, Family, Job, dock talk he said this and use this bait or I heard someone was catching them on a yellow worm..casting and reeling in thinking about what you will be doing at work on Monday instead of paying attention on the job you are doing....... Each and every cast you must stay focused on this cast not the next one. just try to picture your bait under the water and what it is doing ...all the way back to the boat.. Have a game plan, get focused and stay there thoughout the day.... Good luck fishing
