Okay, been thinking about this after fishing this weekend, and in preparation for this weekends trip.
Which is the better approach/tactic for fishing, whether it be for pleasure, or competitive fishing - such as in a tournament?
A) Develop 2 to 3 primary tactics (could be 1 or 2) that you are very good with, and have confidence in. Stick with them, come hell or high water, throughout the day. No real backup plan. This could involve just baits in general, or depths areas, or both.
B) Be a jack of all trades, master of none. In short, be somewhat of a junk fisherman (similar to Woo Daves) and ready for anything. If not in shallow with plastics, maybe mid range with cranks, or . . . (fill in your own favorite).
C) In conjunction (and I know that this has been asked before), whether it be A or B above, do you fish throughly in each area, or run and gun? How many areas do you attempt to utilize on a known lake?
After I put together my rigs yesterday for my upcomming tourney, I realized that right now, I'm a junk fisherman. No less than 8 rigs leaned in the corner ready to go. I'm now thinking that I need to concentrate on 1-2 main baits, and have no more than 1-2 fallbacks, if they aren't working.
