although this may seem way out there, To become a better fisherman you need passion.. after reading alot of the posts on this site I realized All the really good fisherman have passion for thier sport and thier target of interest.. I took every class of lure out there and devoted time to learning how it looks to the fish. if its crankbaits go to a nice clear empty swimming pool and see how it reacts to your retrieve.. and remember it so when you cast that bait you see a mental picture of what it doing. this is how you achive confidence which catches more fish.. I love to fish!!!
