PG REPORT: 10-19/20-06 The Need for Improvement

ALL FISH ARE NETTED, HOOK TAKEN OUT AND PLACED INTO THE KEEP NET DIRECTLY OUT OF THE NET WITH NO HUMAN CONTACT, THEY THEN ARE DISPLAYED FOR A QUICK PICTURE AND RELEASED SUCCESSFULLY AND UNHARMED !

I fished Briefly Thursday and Today. My outing yesterday left me quite Confused, As I had multiple hits but only two fish landed. So I came home and Experimented with my tackle and stayed up almost till 1 A.m. trying to figure this out. I Think I finally figured out the problem and looked forward to trying it out during today's outing. Making New Preparation baits (strawberry, Cherry, and more Peanut butter) I was excited to get out. Before Leaving the spot yesterday I baited and Expected the bigger fish to push the smaller ones out as much as I threw in. 10/19 I had so many bites with only two fish to show for my efforts, I was not only disgusted but was really frustrated with myself. I don't get down and out when not catching fish but When I don't catch them consistently it bothers me and I go through dramatic measures to improve. Fishing for me is a passion and obsession and If I don't consistently perform I get stressed and I do all that I can to get better, This is what motivated me since I was little. 10/20 Today I was fishing a hair rig with 6lb test Lighter line. The bigger fish did move the smaller ones out as I had hoped and Fishing was fun, Fish were there and Feeding heavily I missed a few on the hook sets but did end up landing 6 fish total. I caught 3 on peanut butter and 3 on Straw berry flavored dough bait. The peanut butter gave me the bigger fish though. the Last fish I caught and the one displayed in the picture is the First fish EVER in my life to have got me tired in a fight, This fish made so many runs i couldn’t even hold the rod with my right hand any more.. I was holding on for dear life, The Greatest Fight I’ve ever had with a Fish for sure !! and a blast to successfully get him in.
Will Probably not Fish tomorrows Trout opener, As I have focused somewhere else... Might hit it Sunday
