Excellent topic! I do agree with it for the most part. However I have to say that most of my fishing time, lately, is almost always with the clock ticking in the background. i.e. I have to be home by noon or back before the kids bedtime in the evening. Rarely do I get the marathon days I love oh so much. Mostly just a few hours squeezed in an otherwise busy day. I find that I just don't have all that much time to experiment. Also I'll offer this, When I was a boy and my family would fish Oneida lake for walleyes and bass and occasionally perch, my uncle never fished with anything but an Acme Kastmaster. Cast it, jig it, you name it. and more often than not he would out fish us all. There just seems to be something about just having confidence in what your using that you don't mind pushing it all day long. On the absolute opposite end of the spectrum is a friend of mine that spends so much time changing lures he hardly fishes, and rarely catches very many fish. I always try to be somewhere in between. Hard headed enough to wear the paint off a jig in a day but smart enough to know when it just ain't working. Isn't that why they call it fishing, cause like the lottery you just never know?
