davepikey81 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Went down to willow beach az yesterday morning and covered alot of water and was rewarded with my new pb If any of you have ever fished that place you know its a tough place to fish. I spent most of 2013 getting skunked. I sought out help from alot of you guys and did ALOT of researching on everything from striped bass behavior and feeding patterns to how trout like to move and postion themselves and feed..hell i even went fly fishing a few times. It wasnt until the end of summer early fall when i got to meet mike (aztrouteaters)and tuan (998ron) that the puzzle pieces started to fit together a little and i was able to apply those strategies to my own ideas. I was even lucky enough to get help from manny chee (whos youtube videos get me all hyped for a day on the water). Even more hard work and and time on the water followed..until things are starting to finally click. nothing crazy big but catching fish more consistenly and locating them a little easier. Then yesterday happened and i learned 2 new things which i will share with you all 1. If you are gonna spend $200 on a bait..buy a decent net...i cheaped out on my net and i almost lost this fish. 2. There is no such thing as a bad cast..i got her on a fouled cast within seconds of clearing a birdsnest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
