Fishermans Post Inshore Challenge

Greetings from the Cape Fear Coast:

To insure a positive experience in work, sports, boating and fishing tournaments preparation is the most critical part. A large amount of preparation does not always insure success but practice and hard work help you deal with situations as they arise. This is when you should get a chance to have multiple scenarios to encounter the situation you are in at the time. Now you can use this to help for develop a strategy when Plan A gets smashed or just does not pan out.

As you may have figured out the tournament did not go well at all. I did a poor job of preparing for the event and fished an area that I had been to in over a year. There were a lot of "I'm gonnas" but they never got done. I did not pre-fish the area in question, I did not secure bait the few days before the tourney, I did not prepare gear and otherwise prepare for the event properly, Things of this nature often ensure poor performances in most cases, unless a horseshoe happens to fall from the sky. That does not happen very often, though.

Moving during tournaments is a necessary event but when and where are always in your mind and the best success I have had is not to make crazy long runs to areas unknown. Don't move for the sake of moving. The mindset during an event, no matter what it is, changes from your preparation time but you must work hard to succeed.

I think Allen Iverson said best, "We talking about Practice? We talking about Practice! Practice? Practice!"

We did catch a 3-4 foot Bonnetthead Shark (new species for the boat).
