This possibly could end up being the best informative post out of all that I have wrote. However, those that read are the deciding factors of that. I have wrote many threads on How to,Where to, and, When to, from my experiences on the water. I sat here tonight thinking of a different approach of the things I have wrote, and how I could sum everything into one and this is what I came up with. Our experiences fishing go through a variety of things including, thought, process and ellimination.. So many things in life we have heard have involved the same sequence. Fishing isn't any different. We all put "thought" into the equation each and every night out. Not only for the area we are fishing, techniques we use, but different scenarios including weather patterns, moon phase, and even seasonal movements. We also all go through the "process" part of it. Of course this consists of the trial and error end more than anything. Have some nights in certain areas been more productive some nights,at certain times of the year than others? Have some baits even been better? Do I need to target these areas more often, or was it luck I caught what I did? Many of these questions arise in the process mode.. And it's funny how every year how this process can change! And finally the easiest of them all Ellimination. This is the way to write off parts of the thought and process, by claiming luck or no luck! However, it can be the hardest to go through. We all have the spots that we know are big fish spots, but numerous nights with nothing... you would think would be easily gave up! Sometimes so, sometimes not... My point to this thread is to bring back the basics to some. We all sometimes over analyize things, but sometimes don't think of the basics of considering also. So before your next trip out sit down and consider the water your going to, the species you are targeting, and all the small factors you may miss on... and make the most of it through this simple setup! if you haven't been putting much thought into, or have been elliminating without process, you are probably missing a few fish!!!!...goodluck.......rollo
