How I went from quitting to catching fish

Used to get so frustrated I'd quit fishing for months, sometimes years. Finally figured out what was holding me back. Location matters more than gear. Stop casting randomly into open water. Look for current, structure, downed trees - think like a fish. Where would YOU hang out if you needed shelter and food? Keep it simple. I have tackle boxes full of crap I never use. Found my confidence by mastering one lure: the rooster tail spinner. Cast and retrieve until you find fish. If spinners aren't catching something, find a new spot. Don't get overwhelmed by all the techniques and gadgets. Master the basics first, catch some fish, build confidence. The fancy stuff can wait. If fishing was easy, we'd call it catching. #fishing #beginnertips #spinnerbaits #fishingtips
