Investing In Yourself Is The Best Investment You Can Make
I shudder to think about the thousands (if I'm honest, potentially tens of thousands) of dollars and hundreds of hours I wasted in my early years of angling.
I couldn't figure out why sometimes I would absolutely clean up and others days I couldn't catch a fish to save myself!
That was until I started fishing with strategy and formulated a plan that had me landing fish on every outing!
One thing I fully understand is how time-poor many of us are. When you get a chance to go fishing, you just go. You often can't really pick the most ideal day or moon phase as it’s just impossible with life commitments.
So, I am going to teach you how to catch fish regardless of when you go. You will learn to be able to read the situation and conditions to know what you may be able to catch, where and when.
