I was NEVER invited.

Bold-faced LIES. You even met up with us that night, ya' cockface.

back to the "superstition part" of fishing.

Its not a supernatural thing but the mental aspects of fishing bares itself out in the professional world. its all a mind/body issue. when you believe in a lure you fish it a lot differently than if you didnt.

so i troll on the river for walleye. using weighted stickbaits and shad raps. i bought a handful of flickershads and would run them the same way. never caught a fish on them. but when i run the stickbaits and shad raps, i'll catch fish. so its all i use. all it took was 1 trip with a buddy running flickershads and we hammered them. so now i run flickershads and catch them. what i found was i gave those flickershads allll but 20 minutes of time to catch me fish. then it was back to my go to.

same thing with gulp minnows. when you have confidence in your baits, you fish them harder, with more concentration, and with more precision.

I love taking people fishing. i never put a baitcaster in someones hands. EVER. always a spinning rod. but you know you are in trouble when they hold it upside down. even though they "fish all the time"
