Fishing Rod Rack

Is finding the right bait/lure more important?

OR Is finding the area where the fish ARE more important?

Perhaps, sometimes we get so “geared-up” finding “the perfect lure/bait-rig”, that we don’t see the “obvious” reason we are out on the lake/saltwater marsh/ocean!

Although I do like to experiment & try new tactic’s & “gear”, I sometimes catch myself trying TOO many tactic’s & lures! Thats when I say to myself, “Self, you got the right lure, just the wrong spot!”

I know it’s important to have appropriate lures/bait, but if I’m fishing for Bass, Smallies, Brim, Northern’s, Walleye’s, I would prefer to know “where they are” over what their gonna eat!

I think that having a map of the lake/water your gonna fish is MUCH more important than having a 35 LB tackle box.

Would you agree?
